Berhampore Khaja

Food Confidence: medium

Khaja is the savoury-flaked snack that Berhampore is famous for alongside its chhanabora and manohara, and local sweet shops in the town deal in it year-round. It is a crisp, layered fried snack eaten as a tea-time bite or festive treat, and is as much a part of the town's Nawabi food identity as its silks. Khaja dealers and manufacturers operate openly in Berhampore, making it easy for visitors to buy by the kilo. Buyers get an authentic Berhampore snack that is cheap, shelf-stable and easy to carry home.

Typical price: ₹150-600

Buying tip: Buy from a sweet shop or khaja dealer in Berhampore rather than rebranded packets; it is sold by weight and keeps well if packed dry.
