- Being a busy commercial center, Kalimpong boasts of a vibrant street food scenario full of old eateries and stalls.
In today's episode we are exploring some of these along with our dynamic host Nicholas Ghatani who is a freelancer in the area of tourism and media. He is also the co-founder of a small hot sauce manufacturing company named Greenly.
The day started with a simple yet delicious traditional breakfast at our homestay prepared by the very warm and genial Ms. Duke. This consisted of sel roti, chamri and aalu dum. The pretzel shaped sel roti made of rice and semolina was irresistible. The fenugreek seeds flavoured chamri, which was prepared on our request, was subtle and filling.
When the breakfast got over we departed for our first street food destination at Rishi Road named Amdo Restaurant that specializes in Tibetan dishes. Its interiors resembled a cosy Tibetan household. Here we ordered a Wai Wai laphing, tingmo and pork chilli. The former was a fun thing to try because of the contrasting textures of its components. Tingmo was pillowy soft and went well with the spicy pork chilli.
From there we reached Haat Bazaar which houses numerous stalls of daily commodities. It is also dotted with many small food stalls doing brisk business by catering to the shopkeepers and visitors. The first place that we went to was Manoj Food Cart. Here you will find different fried snacks. We opted for the sha phaley which is somewhat close to a minced meat paratha. The filling was spicy and juicy. Next we got to know about some local daily food ingredients and marcha which is used for making local liquor.
Next stop was Tara Phambi stall that is run by two genial ladies. Phambi is the most quintessential street food of Kalimpong that is prepared from mung beans through a slightly complex process. They are jelly like savoury chunks that are tossed in a chilli based sauce. We thoroughly enjoyed its silky, smooth and spicy mouthfeel. This was followed by a zesty plate of aalu thukpa which was noodles topped with aalu dum.
The following stop was Tenzing restaurant where we had a big sized pork momo. This place too is an old eatery serving affordable traditional snacks to the locals. This bread like momo was totally opposite to its regular thin skinned counterpart.
The penultimate stop was another old joint named Nima which is famous for thukpa and momo. We had intended to try chicken or pork thukpa over here but since it was all over, we didn't try anything else.
The final stop of this insightful tour was Renu Radhan's pickle shop. It is managed by a genial hardworking lady, Renu Pradhan. She sells various kinds of pickles and other local treats. With a beaming smile she made us taste some of them. If you have a penchant for local goodies, do give it a try.

"Shutter wala dukaan and ab hum bahut khush hai" is such a heart warming moment ❤️❤️
I enjoy how she expressed that part believe me I am right now in J&K 2022 I have seen her since 2002 she is same, the only vegetarian momo in kalimpong bus stand with beet root soupy maternal grand ma used to eat there.
True that....warmed my heart.
omg nicholas was so generous man very good manners kudos to him
That's India 🇮🇳, different taste, different lifestyle, eating habits, language, still the love and respect is there, that's how India should be rather than fighting each just for the sake of politicians, and religion. Don't fight we all are one....
Thank you once again for introducing us to the various local dishes along with heart touching hospitality of kalimpong people 😊😊🙏🙏
"Raaste mein kha lena."
What could possibly be a more heartfelt gift for someone perpetually on the move as he meticulously and lovingly turns over the pages of the epic cuisines from the farthest corners of India for his viewers.
That lady made my day. Thanks again Anubhav.
Oh thats our grandson Danu with Sapraji ☺️ thats just great 🙏
Excellent..... people of Kalimpong...lovely... Incredible India with all community
I haven't been home (Kalimpong) for the past 2 years, this video made my day 🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
despite knowing everything yourself the way you let the guide speak is fantastic.
No one covered this part of India -Kalimpong . Thank you for covering Kalimpong Food. Sapra sir, Love from Mumbai .
If you're still in Kalimpong, I strongly recommend trying "kachar pachar" near the old Kanchan Cinema hall. It's basically aloo thukpa with a lot of extra stuff which makes it even better, and it's one of the most famous foods in Kalimpong. Any local will guide you.
He did in his latest video ..!!
Much respect Anubhav ji the amount of knowledge and research,your effort and time you have put on about local food and place really shows 🙏🙏🙏 Thanks again for a great video love from kalimpong
The thing i like the most is ki anubhav kuch kaat-te nahi hai, puri baat sunvate hai har dukan valo ki ya shopkeeper ki, baaki vloggers kvl “ohohoho” “ahahahah” krte rehte hai ! ✨🤞🏻♥️
This episode touched my heart.. innocence of hill people, their simplicity n simple but tasty n healthy food. Great Episode looking for part III
I am from Tripura,a small state in northeast.I can assure you tribal people are the simplest and purest form of humans you will ever come accross in this gross world. And I feel proud about the fact that I share a strong bond with them.❤️❤️❤️
Love Anubhav Sapra's videos, too good, the way he presents the various cuisines of India, such a humble soul.
Pickle shop aunty is the best 💕rise and shine aunty 💕
Waaaaah...this is humility..the lady shopkeeper rocks..
Oh my God. How cool is this place and people. They are wonderful people living in paradise. Thank you Anubhav from Sydney for introducing such a beautiful part of India.
Hello Anubhav ji 🙏 ek aur nice vlog Kalimpong ki yaadein taaza ho gayin ..... yahan bahot greenery hai dekh ker aankhon ko sukuun milta hai.......after 10-12years baad yahan ka scene dekh ker accha laga....kyunki mere bacche iske pahle yahan boarding main padhte thye toh hum log hamesha jaate thye...thanks kalimpong ki travel karane k liye 🙏🌹🌹🌹
We are not able to visit every nook and corner of our country. You are showing us and we are really happy to see and get to know about the different cultures, food and drink of these places. Keep it going!
North eastern people are so lovely to talk to.
They are always so welcoming and have smile on the face.
I will definitely visit north east in coming times.
This is East India not North East
Feeling nostalgic ,can smell the whiff of spice and cooked food floating in the busy market ;my second home🇮🇳🇳🇵
While he was trying aloo thukpa, the little kid is helping his father in the background. Very cute scene.
It’s amazing to see this vedio , after watching this feels like this place is more like Nepal than India, language , food, ingredients, people and May be everything..resembles Nepal. ❤️
another informative episode...the old shop lady was so adorable... :)
Lovely scenic beauty, as if colourful embroidery on nature s canvas...
The farmers food is similar to 'khari bhaat', (which has sliced onion along)... 'sel roti', true, reminds of festivals, and is near to taste, to 'meetha pudla'...
Ive noticed this many a times, the fluency of the hand movements, while wrking wth kitchen tools...which is a v distinct specialty of the chefs frm the north east...
The market visit was fabulous... 'phambi' was something v different i got to know, also was thinking, what a, 'HI' wud people be experiencing wth the traditional alcoholic beverage...
The show stopper was the last shop... loved everything about it... specially the candle flame sealing of the packet!!
Thank you
I respect your dedication towards making these vlogs. That pickle lady was so happy to share her story . A real inspiration .
कलिम्पोन्ग का प्यार सिर्फ़ जायको में नहीं तो यहाँ के लोगोंसे भी है. बडे बडे शहरों में ग्राहक और विक्रेता इनके दरमियान संवाद घुटके रह गया है और सिर्फ़ सिक्को की आवाज सुनायि देती है. लेकिन यहाँ विक्रेता ग्राहकोसे संवाद कर एक रिश्ता बना लेता है. यही बात इनको एक उत्तम विक्रेता बनाति है. सिक्कोका व्यवहार तो सभी करते है लेकिन प्यार का व्यवहार करके ग्राहकोको अपना बनाना कोई इनसे सिखे. आज पहली बार आपके एपिसोड में खाने की आवाज से ज्यादा लोगों की प्यारभरि बातें सुनायि दी. इसतरह के जायके चखने का स्वाद और भी उमदा होता है.
I miss my kalimpong n it's hamro sweet town KALIMPONG... I love 💕 my kalimpong...

Thank you and waiting for kachar pacha, I miss.
BEST BLOGER.
Appreciate you showing a beef dish even though you don't consume it
😡
@Balpreet Singh Absolutely agree with you Sir,that is a part of our Democratic responsibility to respect the food & culture of other community without hating on it for religious reasons 🙌
Beef is found in most areas of West Bengal be it Kolkata, Purulia or Kalimpong ,, it's just that Bengali Hindu don't eat Beef but don't interfere with the food tradition of others,, we also eat Pork here in many places
@@sayanbiswas3563 this will continue only till Hindus are majority.
I found some excellent and healthy eating options viewing this video which are easier and less time consuming to make
So blessed to have you in Kalimpong... A place I hold so dear to my heart. Do visit Dr.Grahams Homes Kalimpong.
The variety of vegetables and foods you get in Kalimpong will make a super market underwhelming that's the beauty of this wonderful town.
Superb, sir .. really i enjoyed a lot when watching your videos. And today video is awesome. .
The round shape like jalebi, in uttrakhand we have called sail, we made it with rice flour add some sugar and fried into oil
NEPALI IS MODERN VERSION OF DOTELI LANGUAGE.
DOTELI is a KUMAONI DIALECT LANGUAGE.
There are many community in NEPALI.
LIMBU,TAMANG, RAI,KHAS ARYANS, MANGAR,GURUNG etc.
KHAS ARYANS SURNAME match with maximum KUMAONI and GHARWALI also.
Bcoz WESTERN NEPAL and KUMAON,GARWAL was under same KINGDOM KATYURI KINGDOM, KHAS MALLA KINGDOM.

Last lady shop owner stole the episode. Heart warming
भाई साहब आपने जो कुछ दिखाया बहूत मजा आया 🙏🏻🙏🏻 हमलोगो के बचपन में थाक्पा नाम के एक लड़का हूआ करता था जो अपने प्लास्टिक के बाल्टी मे बीफ मोमो बेचा करता था मैंने उन से और उनके पिता से भी बीफ मोमो खाया करते थे पांच रुपए मे उस जमाने में बीसठो मोमो मिला करता था 🙄🙄
