A deliciously tasting snack, much savored on a rainy day in India. Popular all over India and known by different names. In the south, it’s called a Bonda, and north a Vada, so much for this potato which is coated with a gram flour batter and deep fried and savored with Chutneys like Green Chutney and Date and Tamarind Chutney or just plain old Tomato Ketchup.

Chilla’s are spiced lentil crepes served hot in breakfast or as a main dish during a meal. The first time I had these was on the streets of Calcutta, opposite Shibuji is a joint, which is filled with the yummy Calcutta street junk food. The extra spicy garlic chutney smeared on it and chopped green chillies and roasted onions adds the irresistible taste to the chilla. Its been over 6 years since I have had this street food in Calcutta, that it makes me want to go there grab a bite of all the stuff @ shibuji and top it with “soda shikanji” an all time favorite quencher again from Calcutta.
