India GOCooking class in Kolkata
Cooking a Bengali lunch in a Kolkata kitchen
Spend a morning in a family kitchen learning the sequence a Bengali meal is served in (bitter first, then dal, vegetables, fish, chutney, sweet), and then eat it at the family's table.
from ₹4000 · Year-round, usually late morning into lunch. Hilsa is a monsoon and early-autumn fish; ask in advance if that is the point of the visit.
Dawn Chinese breakfast at Tiretta Bazaar
Arrive in the dark at a lane off Poddar Court where a handful of Hakka families set up folding tables and sell pork buns, fish ball soup, sticky rice and hand-made momo until the pans are empty.
from ₹200 · Very early morning: stalls set up around 05:30 and are usually finished by 08:30. Sunday is the fullest day; midweek is thinner.
