The story the reviews tell

Chotpoti arrives at the street stall as a jumble of soft potatoes and dubli, crowned with whatever you choose—diced chillies, boiled egg, a scatter of coriander. It's built to be negotiated: spicy and sour at once, but you direct the balance, asking the shopkeeper to tip it toward heat or tang. Crispy puri shards and tamarind chutney make it sing.

What makes this version distinct

Chotpoti (Bengali: চটপটি Côṭpôṭi), is a Bengali street food popular in Bangladesh and West Bengal, India, mostly in urban areas. The word 'chotpoti' translates to 'spicy' (as in, having many different spices, not simply 'hot'). The dish consists mainly of potatoes, dubli, onions and is usually topped with additional diced chillies or grated boiled eggs. Other common toppings include tamarind chutney, coriander leaves, cumin, and crispy puri. It is usually served hot and tastes both spicy and sour at the same time. One can choose to make it more spicy or sour or balanced, according to their taste, by asking the shopkeeper.
