#Diwalidelights - Hot Fish Chop is always welcome over a cup of tea and some gupshup among friends, family and relatives during Diwali evenings or for supper after pandal hopping. They serve as perfect appetizers in any in-house party.

A very favourite snack, they are a common sight in almost all street corners in Kolkata. These yummy snacks are relished with ketchup, some onions and green chilies as accompaniment.
