CHAAT CHOMP: On Saturday evening, Tolly heart-throb Abir Chatterjee dropped in at chaat vendor Sanjib Shaw’s stall outside Vishal Mega Mart on VIP Road, Baguiati. Sanjib’s (above) chaat mix with four newly-launched Kurkure flavours has been a hit with his customers. “I am fond of Papri Chaat and Dahi Vada, though I can’t have anything spicy. Even in between shoots, we often get chaats. Sanjib’s Kurkure chaat was a fun fusion and I am sure he would be able to please many shoppers who want to grab a tasty snack after shopping here,” said Abir, in between polishing off a plate of Kurkure chaat and handing over a prize to Sanjib who is one of the 20 best chaatwallahs chosen as part of Kurkure’s Priyo Chilli Flavour Khao, Star-er Shaathe Shopping-e Jao contest. SMS your favourite Kurkure flavour — from Kurkure Chilli Mustard, Kurkure Chilli Saucy, Kurkure Chilli Garlic and Kurkure Chilli Achari — to 5499974. Lucky winners will receive a cheque for Rs 31,000, and get to shop with Raima Sen or Swastika Mukherjee at a Pantaloons store.

CHIT-CHAAT: Netai Sarkar (inset), who sits outside the Tollygunge Metro station, made it to the list of top 20 chaatwallahs in town with his yummy concoction. Locket Chatterjee braved the rains on Friday evening to taste his crunchy Kurkure chaat. “It’s nice! I have never had Kurkure chaat before. It’s got a tangy taste, the perfect Puja munch,” she said, before heading for another round of chaat bingeing at Prakash’s stall just outside Gariahat Pantaloons. Between bites, Locket also handed over a prize to Netai and Prakash (picture top).
