JOIN USIf you are looking for a quick serving of rolls and other snacks, ‘Chakum Chukum’ in Indiranagar is the place to be. The eatery was started by Arpita Sinha and Sujoy Das as they felt there was a dearth of good joints serving rolls in the city.
“We wanted to start an eatery wherein people could come and enjoy a quick roll at their convenience. They could have it seated in their vehicle or while on the go,” says Arpita. Ask her the story behind the name of the eatery and she says it is inspired by the chewing sound.
The place has something for everyone. The menu comprises of ‘Aloo roll’, ‘Double palak paneer roll’, ‘Double egg double mutton liver roll’ and the juicy ‘Chicken tikka roll’ among others.
“Rolls act as a great add-on for a proper meal. It is apt after a big run or as a snack. It depends on what you want to top it up with to make it wholesome,” she says.
People who love to eat healthy food can choose from the wheat rolls with whatever they want to add on accordingly. “For those who want to customise their rolls, we add ingredients, like egg, accordingly,” vouches Arpita.
“Our speciality is liver. We also make rolls with kidneys. The ‘Mutton shaami roll’ is a ‘mutton keema’ speciality which is slow-cooked on the ‘tava’ in the meat’s fat itself along with 22 other spices, including ‘star anise’ and cardamom. This gives a completely distinct taste to the roll,” she details.
On can also dig into the ‘Veg paneer roll’ or the ‘Baby corn chilli paneer roll’, which are quite popular. “We also have the ‘roll of the day’, which includes specialities like a ‘Bengali chilli chicken roll’, ‘Barbeque chicken roll’, ‘Malai paneer’ or ‘Achari paneer’, which are a big hit,” she adds.
The eatery also offers varied items like ‘Moong dal kachori’ which is served with ‘aloo dum’ or ‘mutton keema’, ‘Methi paratha’ or ‘Mughlai paratha’, which are a delight to sink in to.
“There’s also ‘Lamb potato chops’ and ‘Devilled egg’ (an egg stuffed with chicken/mutton minced crumb fried), for those who would like something unique to chomp on.”
She adds, “Our eatery has people from across the city coming to enjoy our rolls.” For those who would like a quick drink with their choice of bite, ‘lassi’ is a good option.
You can also wash down a crunchy roll with fresh lime water or fresh lime soda.The eatery is located at G06, Trinity Woods, opposite Sapna Book Mall, 80 Feet Road, HAL 2nd stage, Indiranagar.
The eatery timings are 11 am to 11.30 pm (weekdays) and 11 am to 12 am (weekends).
