A perchance visit to Aaheli Express, strategically located at the corner of Peerless Bhavan in Esplanade East and already making a serious dent in Chitto da's monopoly, left me smiling and contemplating on the next visit. Their 'Kosha Mangsho aar Luchi' platter, carrying a humble price tag of 84/-, had 'duto Mangsho'r piece '(2 pieces of Mutton) - succulent, honestly cooked and moderately spicy, with two freshly fried but flaky Luchis [deep-fried flatbread made of flour] offering a fitting accompaniment. Just a condescending smile while placing the order could fetch the choicest mutton pieces.
Kolkata is in need of like unpretentious outlets that value warmth and tradition besides feeding a generation always on the move...
