The modest kochuri is a name that consistently appears on the list of Bengalis' Favourites. A hing (asafoetida) kochuri is a beloved breakfast food all year round, but it is particularly well-liked in the winter. The kochuri is unique in that it is both a beloved street meal and a delicious home-cooked dish when served with aloor torkari or chholar dal. Seasonal koraishuti (green pea) stuffing only heightens its appeal in the winter. We have a list of locations where you can find phulko kochuri if you're in the mood for one. Here is a kochuri trail for the upcoming winter and the remainder of the year.

While the well-known ones remain prominent, there are several lesser-known kochuri shops located throughout the city that are just as popular, and not just with locals. You might not locate a signboard for many of these because they are only identified by their owner's name; instead, you might find them on Google Maps. These locations include Potla'r kochuri on Bagbajar Street, Gadar kochuri next to Hathibagan market, Bankim er kochuri in front of the gas station on Harish Mukherjee Road near School Road, and Kanai er kochuri in Kidderpore. By allowing you to choose between cholar dal and aloo torkari, Manik er kochuri in the vicinity of Jadu Babu Bazar stands out. Shibe and Madan, brothers, run a single store on Hari Ghosh Street close to Hatibagan. One serves morning-only crispy khasta kochuris, while the other sells conventional kochuri in the evening.
