Chow mein-Calcutta-street-style-Durga Pujo Special-Kolkata Street Food-Indo Chinese
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 มิ.ย. 2024
- Chow mein is a ubiquitous street food found in every neighbourhood in Calcutta. It was quite possibly the cautious Bengali's first foray into Chinese food and originated from the Calcutta Chinatown. The flavours are quite Indianised with street vendors often adding their own spice mixes to their creations. It is almost always garnished generously with chopped onions, cucumbers, ketchup and green chilli sauce (another Indian Chinese condiment that originated in Calcutta's Chinatown).

I am nearing my 90th birthday and grew up in Calcutta. Chinese food was one of my favourite cuisines. There were many Chinese restaurants where I lived and I particularly liked the beef chow mien which mainly consisted of chopped spring onions and bean sprouts. In 1945 it cost 4 Annas. I remember Chinatown and the posh Nanking restaurant and the smaller restaurants dotted around that were very basic but the food was brilliant. I have travelled to many places in the world (I live in London) including Singapore, Hongkong and San Francisco but no place has food to equal that available in Cal and that also includes street food.

The sound of vegetables being cut is so satisfying
It's like ASMR

Hollow the taste also does the same to the tummy.
Each of their videos is satisfying ~~~😌😌
Fantastic! No faltu bak bak. Only great recipe! ❤️

Yes. No faltu bak bak...

I agree
I’m a South Indian, but brought up in Kolkata . Kolkata , to me is the most favourite place in the world !!
I love everything that is Bengali ; hence discovering your channel has been a treat for me.
I feel very nostalgic going through your videos,
You guys are doing an excellent job ! Keep it up !

❣️❣️❣️
I’m Bengali, lived in south India. South Indian food is awesome. What a cuisine!
@@yogeshdokania2458 dirty politics (which is everywhere, not unique to Kolkata) and many rowdy elements that the politicians use who are not so well educated, intellectual, loving, etc.
The audio was so satisfying. ..
Bong eats music and the sound of ingredients cut, diced, boiled, fried, the clanging of the utensils is so soothing...
Asmr
production quality is top notch! recipe too!
Thanks, Sohom! :-)
U r right
@@BongEats no its soham
@@HimanshuKumar-se1eh ha ha in Bengali we like to call "shohom" .. rather than "soham" .. n like "onuvab" rather than "anuvab".. "omol" rather than "amal"😂😁
I tried that recipe and it turned out to be my most favorite chowmein recipe ever.
Thanks guys
The sound of cutting,the sound of cooking: honestly speaking just amazing.Background music was nostalgic.Over all very nice to see and hopefully the dish will
Soooooo tasty.
U r tight ananya
The background Bengali music and cooking steel ... everything is just osum🤤🤤
Calcutta style Chinese is like bliss on a plate, an absolute 'go to' and staple food for college and university students here at Kolkata. Looks great and appetizing.
Next level ASMR!!
Tomader recipe gulo khub sundor lage dekte.. Bar bar dekhi ami khub valo lage.. 😊😊
the way you chop those veggies is amazing...i could watch this all day😍
The sound of cutting the veggies feel so tingly and beautiful!!
'Serves 2 for evening snack,
1 for very hungry person' damn. I relate 😂😂
I tried several version this is so far the best.
Nothing can be more amazing that Calcutta's street style chowmein thank you Soo much ❤
This is the science and art of cooking..
Lovely and looks yummy..
Thank you so much for sharing this receipe.
Trying this recipe exactly to the T - made me realise everything you make on the video makes sense! The order of your preparation and the ingredients and even the measurements! I have tried your recepie many times I have eyeballed the ingredients also I have just not been ready enough every time before stir frying the noodles. But man hats off to wherever you got the inspiration to this recepie from its by far the most perfect and the veggies get crunchy and not soggy and wilted by the end of the process! Added some cucumber and onions to finish! Just like the Kolkatta Chow chow! Guys who ever is making this please watch it 10 times if needed but follow it to the bits.
There are literally plenty of cooking channels out here on TH-cam but it will not be an exaggeration I guess if I say that Your cooking channel is probably one of the best I have come across. And why do I say so? Your presentation is so subtle and at the same time so neat. I also love the amount of research you guys put in behind any recipe. And being a Bengali myself I love those Bengali touch in you cooking. Keep up the good work guys. 🙌👌❤️🙏
Darun.. darun.. kono kotha hobe na 😍😍
Thank you, Someshukla.

i made this today and it turned out very well!! my family doesn't usually like chinese food, so i thought to make them something indo-chinese and stumbled upon this recipe. it was perfect, and they all loved it !!
Chow mien is such an awesome thing to eat, and I really love this recipe you’ve used! Thank you 🙏🏻👌🏻
I have recently started watching your videos. Yours are the best made videos! Perfect recipes (not to forget the exact measurements given!), perfect cooking, perfect English, perfect chopping and perfect explanations!!! You guys rock!
Just wow... Can't describe how i became so happy after watching this... Pls keep it up guys... Variations needed.. Thank you
আমি 3 ঘন্টা হলে বসে মুভি দেখার চেয়ে আপনার সবজি কাটা দেখতে বেশি পছন্দ করবো...😁😁😁😁😁

that's a good one
True ♥️
Me too..just loving your cutting skill.its too good🤗
Amio ekdom ek mawtt!
Simply love this channel! You guys are doing a great job. Keep up the good work ❤
An egg-roll wala at my locality uses meat masala. He sprinkles it while stir-frying the chowmein. I found it adds to the flavour. Chowmein mix of any brand will also do nicely. The gentle hand-tossing with oil does wonder. It never gets stuck this way. I always undercook my chowmein a tiny bit rather than trying to cook it to perfection. This way they are less breakable. Later, while stir-frying, the steam cooks it through anyway.
P.S. - We sometime make Maggi the exact same way. Boiling the noodles like chowmein for two minutes only and the rest following pretty much the same recipe you showed. Only instead of the dry masalas, we use the Maggi masala. And we too like to top it with crunchy slices of onions and cucumber (sometimes with hot chanachur, but that's only me!!!) 😊
Meat masala has degraded meat particles in it. Carefull before buying from any vendor
@@whyowhy4571 meat masala has no meat in it. For god's sake!
I tried using meat masala, it was delicious! Thanks for the tip.
@@whyowhy4571 I use Everest or Sunrise brand. I hope they are good quality.
@@rashuharshu most welcome! 😊
Whole process was lovely
The filming style you people use is out of the world for any cooking channel i have ever seen.
Beautiful
Ei channel r jonno dada didi tomader khub dhonnobad..evabe amader tradition k sobar majhe bojay rakho..luv u
When u r cutting vegetables that sound is 😍😍so relaxing
Twenty years ago my father introduced me to noodle world through this dish in Calcutta. That chilli chicken was a cherry on top in the end. These were literally my most favorite items to eat, add a hot n sour soup to that, there goes my best childhood dinner.
Tried this recipe. Turned out so well. Thank you so much
Born and brought up in kolkata, but shifted to Pune for job, through your recipes I, m able to taste true Kolkata dishes.... Thanks for such classy and awesome recipe videos
Wow! Thanks so much for this recipe! Your cinematography is also awesome!
So long after I first saw your videos, today I tried making chow mein your way. My choices of condiments and veggies was hampered by what was available in my kitchen during lockdown and the quantities were vastly different (11 portions instead of 2). But it turned out so so good.
The tips for cooking noodles were a gamechanger.
Thanks Saptarshi and Insiya. Keep on posting🙏
Bong eats excellent work... May your channel had all prosperites
చూస్తుంటే mouth watering 😋
ওহোহোওওওও অসাধারণ হয়েছে দারুণ দারুণ,,, আমার বিশেষ করে সাউন্ড এফেক্ট ও ভিডিগ্রাফিটা দারুণ লেগেছে

It was very satisfying watching you cook. Looks perfectly delicious! :)
You cook every dish with equal proportion of love and care, that is extremely satisfying to watch
I love all your recipes they are soo good
What A beauty this video is! I love you have used patla chow instead of mota chow which most restaurants have started serving. And they are no match to the street chow.
Kolkatar aar ak chow aache jeta chhoto belaye bondhur tiffin theke khub khetam. Aloo, peyaanj, lonka, aar deem diye chow. School a lunch time a haath diye tule khetam, thanda chow . But it used to taste divine. Akhono majhe majhe barite deem

I love this
Apni atto sundor kre sobji katlen....much better than a Netflix episode 😍 and the recipe was too delicious 😋
I just wanted to say thank you for your recipes. I had no cooking experience at all before I started watching your recipes. It was all because of you, I started cooking. The first dish I made was kosha mangsho of yours. On your advice I bought all the necessities you mentioned, and as someone who is new to cooking and doesn't know how much salt to add, your gram measurements of everything is very helpful. You introduced me to Kenji Lopez and serious eats, and I can't thank you enough for it. Now I cook 2-3 times a week and have always planned what to cook the next week be it your video or a serious eats recipe. As I said before, I can't thank you enough for this :)
I just loved it
I enjoy cooking and God knows how many times I have watched your videos.
It's so so therapeutic. Keep up the Great work. ❤
Without saying a word...the video said a lot about mouthwatering recipes
Love it. I was so hungry at this late hour when I came across this video!!! The steps are so neatly shown. I am not into cooking that much. But this tutorial was so admiring that I tried it!!!❤️ And guess what?! It's was my first try. I am loving it. You make it seem so easy man!!!!!!!!
I am enjoying it rn and it deserves an instant appreciation. So am here writing this longggg paragraph to really appreciate your work.❤️
Thank you!😁
You people bring out the art behind cooking....
I see your passion for cooking right through my screen...
Keep going
The touch of gorom masala was amazing...loved it
You don't have any idea how much I miss this.. sitting in Hyderabad! This was bliss. Thank you!

Never could get chow mein right before I followed your recipe. Love the presentation style of keeping it simple !!
Your chopping look like a chef

I love your videos thank you so much!! Just wish I could get the recipe on your page - some of them you have posted but some of them the link is broken - please do post so we can access ingredient list easier when shopping and cooking!!
Hi, Priya. You are absolutely right. We used to have all the pages up, but we've lost some of them while migrating our website. We'll restore them as soon as possible.
Wow, you people are amazing. Apart from your presentation and cooking tips, your explanation towards few myths are awesome . Thank you so much !
An all time favorite recipe. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!
Yes, kichu kotha hi nai ye video dekha r kintu ek ta kotha mukey joll aisey jaychey💖💖💖🤤🤤🤤
I’m literally eating chowmein while watching
although your videos are meant to be as cooking tutorials for the viewers, it also ended up unintentionally an amazing cooking ASMR video. It's amazing and just relaxes me after a frustratingly long strenuous day.
Hasn't this ASMR bullshit ended last year?
@@whyowhy4571 bro.
It's been ages that I've been looking for proper Chow mein recipe. This is it. My soul now rests in peace. Many thanks.
Just...... aweeesoomeeeeee♥️♥️♥️
Not a bengali but brought up in Calcutta. Chowmein brings nostalgic memories, but have never been able to perfect is living abroad. Either my noodles would clump or veggies loose water.
After ages I have perfected my noodles with your recipe, thank you for emphasizing on the minor details - which made all the difference:)
P.S - would you also share a list of the music you have been using, absolutely love it, takes me back to Kolkata
didi ajke ranna ta koresi . onk taste hoyese :-)

Looks too perfect and DELICIOUS!!❤❤❤
Your recipes and cooking sounds are awesome I love to watch your channel
