One of the most loved street foods from Kolkata is the greasy, wholesome Mughlai paratha. While usually cooked with a mix of minced meat, stuffed into a dough of all-purpose flour, this version swaps the maida with atta and meat with paneer for a vegetarian twist on the street-food classic. The dish is known for its signature square shape, which separates it from the usual, round, stuffed parathas made in North India.
