Kolkata

Cabins has been a long standing part of #Kolkata food culture. It not only provided seclusion to lovers to spend a while together curtained away from world, but also, in an era, when eating out in public was a taboo for women, they provided for private dining for women. And the fastest moving items in these cabins used to be Moghlai Paratha - paratha folded and fried with egg served with a dry potato curry and salad #GoodEats
