00:00 North Kolkata is known for its fast food and jobs.
00:07 Among them, the most famous one is Lokhi Narayan Shauban Sonset Tele Bhaja.
00:12 Once you taste it, you will remember the taste of this shop.
00:17 Not only that, but many histories are associated with this shop.
00:21 To know everything, we reached this shop in North Kolkata.
00:26 We are at the entrance of Brindavan Bus lane.
00:31 This is Lokhi Narayan Shauban Sonset Tele Bhaja.
00:35 Another speciality of this shop is that it is owned by Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.
00:42 Why?
00:43 Because he used to come here and eat the onions that are available here.
00:48 He did not like to eat it.
00:51 That's why the onions here are known as Netaji onions.
00:56 Let's see which other shops have been opened here other than onions and which cutlets are for you.
01:04 That is a story of many years ago.
01:06 Many years ago, before the independence, Khedu Shah had moved from Gaya, Bihar to Kolkata.
01:12 At that time, there was no shop in North Kolkata called Tele Bhaja.
01:17 Onion, eggplant, Kashmiri chop is being made in this shop.
01:21 The taste of that chop is so delicious that it does not take much time to spread it on people's faces.
01:27 After seeing the cooking process and tasting the onion, eggplant and chop,
01:31 the Bengalis did not find it difficult to understand that Khedu Shah was a poor worker.
01:37 The people of North Kolkata were trapped in the wealth of the king.
01:42 Then the popularity of Khedu Shah reached such a place that he started selling onions from the shop.
01:52 He used to eat the chopped onion wrapped in a leaf.
01:55 Even Netaji Subhash Chandra Basu liked to eat the onions of this shop.
02:01 From 7 in the morning, he used to go to the shop and fry the onions in oil.
02:05 Because he was a Netaji Subhash Chandra Basu.
02:09 Now, the shop's signboard is full of Netaji's pictures.
02:14 At the end of the shop, there are many statues of Rathi and Maharathi.
02:19 From Ram Kumar Chattopadhyay to Johar Rai, everyone was amazed with Lokhi Narayan's frying in oil.
02:26 Every year on 23rd January, Netaji's birthday, he sells onions for free at Bina Mulla.
02:36 This tradition has been going on since 1942.
02:42 Before everyone, I would like to say that our shop is more famous for its frying in oil than Lokhi Narayan Shah.
02:49 I would like to say a small story behind this.
02:52 My great grandfather used this shop as an information exchange center.
02:59 At that time, there was no phone, but WhatsApp was not available.
03:05 So, people used to come and tell my great grandfather,
03:10 "If you go to Omug, tell them to come here and fry onions."
03:15 So, it was used as an information exchange center.
03:18 There was a get-together or a meeting related to independence.
03:21 There, frying in oil, Muri and tea were thrown on the ground.
03:25 My great grandfather used to say this.
03:28 In this way, I met Netaji with my great grandfather.
03:32 He was a politician, then he was Subhash Chandra Bose.
03:35 He studied in Scottish Church College.
03:38 Now, my great grandfather has so much love for him.
03:42 Since 1942, he used to fry onions in oil in front of his friends and classmates.
03:51 He used to say, "Today is Subhash Babu's birthday, you fry onions."
03:55 Since 1947, he has been writing on the board of the shop,
04:03 "On January 23, Netaji Jounmo Upalokke, fry onions for free."
04:09 That's why our shop is known as Netaji Telebhaja.
04:12 Now, we have 18 types of items.
04:16 Potato chop, brinjal, onion, this is common.
04:19 Then there is mango chop, coconut chop, soyabean chop, cheese chop, soyabean cutlet, chowmein chop.
04:26 Among all, mango chop, soyabean chop and onion are recommended.
04:30 Forever.
04:31 The times have changed, but not the taste of Lokkini Narayan's Chow and Sons.
04:47 Today, they have joined with different types of chops and fried in oil like paneer cutlet.
04:53 What are the foodies saying about the chops here? Listen.
04:57 Today, I bought vegetable cutlet, Kashmiri chop and capsicum chop.
05:03 I bought it from here because it is an old shop.
05:06 The name is Piyaji.
05:08 Now, they are making different things.
05:11 I like to eat all of them.
05:13 How is it?
05:14 Good.
05:15 Have you heard the name of this shop before?
05:18 It was very famous here.
05:20 From Puluri to Chowmein chop, paneer cutlet, cheese chop, you will get different types of items.
05:29 If you want to taste such delicious chops, then come to this shop.
05:34 With cameraman Kolan, Moona Bishwas, One India Bangla, Kolkata.
