There is perhaps no school in Calcutta that does not have an alu kabli vendor outside its gates. At tiffin breaks, or after school, children gather around the tiny makeshift stand that the alu kabli seller sets up with all the mise en place—boiled potatoes, chopped onions, green chillies, containers of alu kabli masala and salts, bunches of coriander leaves, a bowl of tamarind pulp and lime—ready to rustle up fresh chaat.
