People look at these slum like conditions and have a perception that people are unhappy. But just look at these two guys, early to rise, doing what they love and serving the community.
Its so difficult to find this unity in community. There's something magical about this kind of life. Simplicity. Contentedness. And Purposefullness.
Those three you mentioned are very hard to attain in today's day and age

The way those shop owners explained their work and about their shop with the love towards their place and customers and mainly with the love towards their making it just brought back the memories of my Kolkata days ❤️❤️❤️❤️
No matter how bad people look down of indian dishes... I just fell in love with the way they r prepared any kind of food with love... Taste amazing ❤️
Indian food is literally UK's most preferred cuisine...what are you on about 😂
@@satyakidey1520 She's not talking about "Indian food" that are made in restaurants. Watch the video for context and stop defending anything related to India. All you are doing by that is showing how insecure people are.
@@NitinKumar-jq7eb well she definitely commented about 'Indian dishes'...not 'hygiene of the indian street food'..and no One is defending anything here 😂, we'll avoid any food that is being prepared without proper hygiene even if it is in other Countries

Such hardworking, creative, resourceful, honorable people. I’ve been blessed in my lifetime to have visited this colorful country 4 times and developed an attachment to her. I always wish the spoiled, entitled children of my country were forced to learn about the real world and the true struggles that people face with such dignity. I carry these people in my heart and am sending them love and respect from Idaho, USA 😍😍😍😍
This is the true spirit of India - humble hardworking folk who go about their lives in simplicity. Wonderful video by its creators.

What outsiders see: Poverty
What I see: My fellow indians. My people
One thing you have to realise , they could be poor but they are living a happy peaceful life. They didn't even cheat on their customers. Ahhhhhhh this is why I love my Bengal.
That vibe and rustic feel of Bengal
That positive dark energy
And the spirituality
All that is felt
Learnt from thins man earn money only to support life
Beside money there are lot more
There's something in the shots. This episode looks so much better, even more so than the previous ones. The team has caught the vibe very well! One thing to note is that the Kochuri seller had the whole root of hing! Previously, afghans used to sell it in Kolkata back in the colonial days, but now it comes in dust, store-bought form! I'm guessing this root paste is gonna taste much better.
Solid hing is available through out the country, but people prefer the powdered form for ease of use. Handling solid hing with fingers leaves a lingering aroma which does not go even when washed with soap.
The underlying spiritual journey of the first cook is sublime. The way he sat and explained, simple and powerful. He is a master in his own rights. That is the greatness of Bharath, spirituality is not limited to a certain way of life. Here the essence of spirituality flows in all walks of life. Many humble craftsmen, laborers, shepherds, musicians, poets, butchers, kings, housewives, beggers, etc, have become saints of great reverence. Do whatever your karma is with utmost dedication and sincerely, with God in your heart.
Bengal is the land of Swami Ramakrishna paramahamsa and Swami Vivekananda.
There is so much beauty in this video, from the people, to the food and the community spirit. Thank you for showing it to us.
Such humility and devotion to work.

People often comment bad and negative about the cleanliness of Indian food. but what I see is the hard work of the people. And the way they prepare it with passion. And also not just india guys. Every country pretty much the same. There's always the ugly part of it. you saw a Fancy restaurant in a big city. But they also Had this kinda of street food. ❤
This is a sweet and honest man. He is a good example to others, as well as being helpful to his community. I am very happy to see this. I wish very much that I can eat his food eventually.
I'll visit you someday mother India! Love from the Philippines ❤️
beauty of my country really, there's chaos but it's organized, there's compassion but its hidden.
Love Bengal 💛🌱
From Kerala 🌅🌊
What an awesome dive into another culture - the hard-working people, the dedication to their businesses and the amazing recipes we would not have otherwise known about.
As one chef to another I gotta say they definitely know what they are doing 👍 you can tell that food is made from the heart, great documentary I would love to visit some day
I never realised how close knit Indian people are until I moved to Germany. Despite difference of language, religion or income, there is a sense of bonding between people, even among strangers that is simply absent in Europe

So much simplicity, This is my Real India❤
Kolkata food is good
Indian food is so underrated. Your local curry house sells the classics, and the workhorses. But this show is a real eye-opener.
These curry houses use same broth for everything, to taste real Indian food you have to come to India
@@raay411 The places that use a "mother sauce" are the worst.. it's lazy, and just like you said. Everything tastes pretty much the same. Not all, but the main offenders are cheap run down places.
A true gem of a man , love his principles 🎉
This is such a wonderfully shot film focusing on the lives of small time folk who excel at their skills of feeding tasty food at really low prices. Loved it! My special thanks for CNA and the folks who have made this possible. Not every channel has the tact of filming what is the soul of this beautiful city, that rests in the hearts of these hard working, simple folks.
Terrific job by CNA... Very few foreign media outlets focus on this part of India which is my home West Bengal. India isn't just some North and South Indian states. WB is also a unique part of India...
Every states has uniqueness. Cna has indian employees they are the ones that makes this documentary.
@@sum5687 Don't try to whitewash the issue. the vast majority of Indians racists and supremacists consider us Bangladeshis and what not. There are very few western media outlets that focus on WB. This is a good job by CNA.
Very much agree hope CNA makes a documentary contrasting the similar lifestyle of the NORTH EAST states of India .
@@richnationnn That is what I have said. India is not just some North and south indian states...
@@Snow-tm9ic yeah just said hope CNA will focus on the NE side too cuz I'm from there!
What more does a man need than a satisfied life!! Happy to see the hardworking man contended. God bless him.
A lot of foreign documentaries focus on the poverty and corruption and what not. While those are issues that do need to be highlighted, unfortunately it's the stories of the ordinary people that go unheard. If we judge them by 1st world standards they are impoverished but it doesn't take away the fact that they are just as hardworking, creative and resourceful in making it through life despite their circumstances.
Anybody who lived in Kolkata for at least a month would know that Kolkata may not be a bright flourishing modern city like Bangalore but a city that grows on your heart. For us natives, Kolkata is a emotion and we wouldn't even have wanted to change it a inch if the world was not in a rat race to show off financial wealth.
I always in awe witnessing these hardworking people going through their everday life. This series is like a storytelling from first person point of view. I loved it.
I'm watching this with my son . He said mom I have to work hard in the future I will help people. Should be greatful what u have right now. Share and be kind ✨️ thsi is beautiful video. I would like to try these food 😋
Thank you CNA for showcasing my city in such a powerful and amazing way. I've eaten at both these places numerous times, they are icons of their locality and neighbourhood.
Location please

Love to see my city and thanks CNA for this. I grew up with it and I am glad to see our heritage showcased in such a phenomenal manner. This is the true comfort food of Kolkata, here in Kolkata we have a vibrant culture, along with that we have a wide array of cuisines to choose from North Indian, South Indian, gujrati, punjabi, jain, marwari, continental, asian, persian, American comfort, Italian, European fine dining etcetera but nothing can beat that humble club kachori and alu torkari. That I can assure you.....
Such humility and devotion to work.
Bengoli people are great.

Bangla is my mother language I understood him quite properly.. i stay rather close to Kolkata howrah,WB
Yes fried items are all time favourites for us Bengalis especially in the Evening... And ghugni is my favourite..with goat fat it's like heaven...kochuri is 😍😍 morning n evening everytime we enjoy it with craze...
I am from the city of Joy, Kolkata. Thanks CNA for covering the beautiful street foods of my city.
It’s heartwarming to see the couple supporting each other and supplementing a living for themselves
This guy has a knack for choosing the right ingredients. His intuition in cooking is commendable!
Such a well documented story, extremely honest & customer oriented humble gentleman- The last line was fantastic " Even when i get compliments I strive to make it better"!
I have witnessed myself in kolkata even the homeless who live in roads cook very delicious food😅. Bengali food all over india is very delicious as compared to other
They eat more fish and mutton then me😅
@@vibhorejaiswal2997 yes I the one I saw was cooking fish in mustard paste..
@@ms-jt5yv Cold presed mustard oil is mandatory in bengali households. Fish or mutton cooked in mustard oil with spices are delicious.Try the mustard paste variant one.
Such humility and devotion to work.

Basically food in India irrespective of states, is worth craving for
I have so much respect for these people who do whatever it takes to make an honest living and do it with pride.
I love these food streets of kolkata.I feel Kolkata's street food is by far one of the best in India. Even the vegetable markets are so pleasing to the eyes with greens all around along with those river water live fish. Its a vegetable and fish shopping delight experience with so many varieties to choose from. Delicious, sumptuous fish curry with the inherent taste of all those vegetables. The vegetable chop and ghugni of west bengal are very delicious ufff just kono katha hobe na, by far the best taste 😋.
In Bharat, each state is so vibrant and diverse with so differences in culture yet it all feels connected from the base..
Each state is like a different country on its own
bruh the base of ur culture is germs and bacteria
Our soul is the same.
I saw a video on Instagram about Kolkata street food... And people from other states commented on so many bad things they use lots of slang language as a Bengali It makes me really sad... Thank you for your beautiful comments ❤
@@anushkanaskar4821 Bengal and Kolkata have a special place in our hearts, not just as the home of great freedom fighters & social revolutionaries, but as an important centre of Indian food culture. It is state where even a labourer can eat his fill like a king, as can a rich man. Ignore the haters, they are politically motivated.
It's my childhood place. I used to play at Kumartuli Park will my friends. Very nostalgic. Superb documentary.
it feels really good to just walk on these busy corners. i live in chandigarh but old cities like varanasi have special feelings in my heart. it just feels awesome to enjoy street food, hearing tales from yogis, talking to aunties and visiting old monuments of these cities. all u need to do is just litsen to these people, respect their talks and give them attention. they're very humble and friendly.
The most important ingredient is the love and emotion towards their work. This is the most unique food in Bengal, you will never get this taste no matter whichever 5star dishes you have eaten
I literally love to eat in old,smal&tiny food vendors or any small food stall especially old generation food store's,idc if thats a poor shop.It's really nostalgic and heartwarming🩷thing to me.
People of Kolkata is always happy , hardworking & welcoming.

Very long back as a resident of Hyderabad on a visit to Calcutta as part of official duty i had visited this place and purchased small clay idols like Maa Durga lava kusha and so on.But the real joke was i had asked my colleagues the way to go to that place and they were simply stunned.Later i came to know the other part of Kumartuli where a lot of brothels are existing.Any how all sweet memories.
😝😂
The Puja is actually incomplete without soil of a brothel. This was started as a goodwill gesture to them to make them feel included in the society!
The beauty of India 🇮🇳❤️
This area "kumortuli" may look like a slum but actually it's not . This area harbours artists that are best in all over world , they make idols ,pottery, and various handicrafts that are unmatched and can put famous trained artists to shame.
Lovely video! Reminded me of home, but personally, I didn't appreciate the word 'slum food.' I saw the Ganges-the holy river, the people, the food, and the hard-working common men striving to make a difference. Now sure how 'this' is related to 'slum.'
These people are true unsung heroes.... Salut to them
Heroes? For cooking meals?
The passion with which this guy cooks as if he is cooking for family and not general public.
That Khasi chorbi Gugni looks delicious and clean too
This was a movie ...kudos to the team they actually depicted real Kolkata wow never felt this nostalgic 🖤
That's the Spirit of Kolkata...everyone finds joy in Kolkata...my city is one of The Best City in the World 😍🤗
humble, what a beautiful mindset to have in a life that is bound to break you down since birth.
The way he is preparing the food with care and affection is so good to see
Dekhe khub bhalo lagche je jotne uni khabar ti banachen🍲
Coastal states in India have awesome food ... Bengal is best amongst those states..
It's so beautiful to watch these wonderful men and women doing their job with so much love and dedication. More success to each of them, as also many others like them. God bless.
A Pond at th back of the house with ducks bamboo grooves a mud house you know youre home. best feeling ever
The kachori man’s life is way better and luxurious than a cubicle slave who struggles in fear and insecurity of being laid off at the drop of a hat.
Salute to this man. I wish I had his life of freedom.
Thankyou cna for continuing indian slumfood series....I think this is the best series I've ever seen....❤❤❤❤❤
Kudos!!!This is how you portray real Indian food !!! watching today's Indian food vloggers is very annoying....this how you present ART
I have been eating streetfood at various shops .. This yellow t shirt man looks like he sells some amazing stuff.. Will try finding him for sure
that's why i really want to visit india
this kacchori man loves his work , just imagine how much effort hard work he puts , respect !!
Humble and Honest!!
The man absolutely has passion towards cooking and leading a good happy life by making his stall the unsurpassable one. Surely he will someday. Thanks CZcams for this amazing masterpiece……
its heartwarming to watch his positive attitude.....

When i was in india i ate loads of street food. Only got sick after eating a lasagne in a restaurant 😂😂
Lasagna is cooked in proper restaurants. But this is a proper street food.
@Anonymous-sf4hw i know that. Its ironic because people think the hygiene standards of street food can make people sick, but in my case, it was eating in a resteraunt in indai that made me sick, not the street food
@@jonathonjchurchillfor some reason, indian streetfood is less prone to causing tummy issues despite the "unhygienic" preparation. I think that in reality, the amount of harmfuk bacteria in their foods are lower than in restaurant environment - just my own hypothesis without backing
Omg thank you for continuing this series!! I thought the last video was the end, so I was so happy to see this upload!!!!!
Loved it. Thank you very much for recording them. They are the heart of our country. Their hard work, faith and simplicity keep our country running. ❤ It feels great to see them. Kudos to the team.

Kolkata's rusty vibe is so pleasing, I am not against development but I never want Kolkata to become next Mumbai or Bangalore..
Rusty vibe and development are different,, Development and Tradition can go hand in hand,, just like cities in Japan,, Kolkata and other Indian cities have their own beauty and they they need to be developed accordingly
typical communist bangali. What's the problem with conserving the culture when being more developed at the same time?!
It won’t change, but the people won’t get the chance to have equal footing if they step out. That’s what I observe.
This is a beautiful video, people are happy with their lives. The shop owner cooks lovely food. Just beautiful.
That traditional knife to cut vegetables is used all over India from Kashmir to kanyakumari ❤
This is an eye-opener 😢 they seem really like what they do,and the way they prepare the food here looks clean i guess because they hav passions and their mindset is applauding
these guys are more passionate and knowledgeable abt food than some five star hotel chefs
This is fried food. It’s VERY unhealthy.
@@carollynt eat freshly cut grass after washing them. My cow said very healthy🙂
A very beautiful story telling. It shows how every person you come across have their own unique story to share. That every person is special working hard to carry on with their lives. The way this person spoke showed his passion in his work. Humble guy indeed. Perfect candidate for this documentary. Well done CNA.
Man with a heart of gold ! So honest n hardworking
CNA 's presentation is mind blowing! How hardworking and easy going people they're with 'immense' contributions to the society. 👍
Really felt happy after watching this video, it is amazing to see hard working Bengali young man otherwise
So little yet so happy and satisfied. We have a lot to learn from these small traders who are the backbone of Indian economy.
What a simplicity yaar salute for these people 💐💐💐💐💐
people like these make this world a little better… God bless their hardwork… ❤❤
I love India! The food, the people!
Salute to millions of toiling, hard-working people like him who are a shining example simply by their blood & sweat that they put into their work with passion and are striving for quality. Their small time venture is sure to succeed.
Food is art. Its still the best food when you made it from your heart. No matter if somobody else judging it, hate it.
Btw, they both looks delicious
Every time when you eat at a small vendor shop - you're hunger will feed a family. 👏👏👍. All the best.
Wow this is soo good they are so happy at what they have .. feels great to watch them
I enjoyed watching this so much
The love and pride and contentment of this man makes me happy I would really love to taste his food 👌
