DOT Desk: Mohammadpur is often characterised by its diverse communities bustling with life. But it also boasts a delicious platter of different street food items ranging from haleem, chaap, biriyani, momos to desserts that will win the heart of anyone with a sweet tooth.
With flavours from different parts of the subcontinent, Mohammadpur street vendors will have your back no matter what you crave. To help you to make some memories that will last till next winter, The Business Standard brings you the ultimate guide to plan a scrumptious winter evening in the mighty, chaotic Mohammadpur.
Mona Mamar Haleem and Soup
I can bet that you will not find more welcoming street food than those sold at Mona Mamar Haleem and Soup, especially on a chilly winter evening. Having been a favourite among locals for years, this small vendor has also won the hearts of thousands visiting Mohammadpur from other parts of the city.
The showstopper is their rich, thick, and perfectly balanced haleem. The combination of all the desi spices, chunks of beef, and tanginess of the house-special “achar” topped with a quail egg will feel like a warm hug you did not know you needed. If you would like to add some spicy kick to your palate, try out their special “Bombai Chilli Vinegar” (but make sure to keep some water on standby). Other than the haleem, the restaurant also serves a hearty and wholesome chicken soup, made with seasonal vegetables and eggs.
Each bowl of haleem will cost you Tk80 and a bowl of soup will cost Tk60. You can pair the haleem or soup with their fried wontons, which are Tk20 per piece.
Bati Chaat at Kashmiri Taste
If you want to go down the food cart route, you can try “Bati Chaat” from Kashmiri Taste before exploring the rest. The dish consists of a chaat made of potatoes, chickpeas, coriander, sour curd, and the perfect kick of some chaat masala.
However, as the name suggests, the chaat is served in an “edible bowl”! The scrumptious chaat mix is placed in the crispy bowl. You can tear up pieces from the bowl and add a crunch to the party inside your mouth. The pickle and chanachur on top of the bowl will make the evening more “chatpata” for you.
