Informative and time saving post with a great list.

This post made me a bit nostalgic for Calcutta. Can you imagine despite being a Bong, I have been there just twice in my life. That's destiny.

Nice and informative post!

Very informative post. It will be very helpful for those people who are staying at Kolkata.

Can you come down to Goa and make a list for me dear. I must say I admire your patience.

Hello! Thank you for dropping by and leaving a comment. Nice to see another blogger based in India. You have a lovely space too. Keep dropping by often :-))

That is a very informative post ~ a good job on compiling such a great list!

Hi
So nice of you to visit my blog and for lovely comment.
Nice and useful post for people in Kolkata.

Very informative. Very useful.

Very good informative post. I just remember New market with all the stock for baking when I stayed there in 80s..my mum used bake then and get stuff from there. She even got margarine from some shop in Gariahat market(these when in the middle of the road opposite the vegetable market)..not sure if it is still there.

Thank you so much for sharing this post. My cousin too cribs a lot and she stays in Kolkata. I will share this post with her .. i bet it will make her so happy :)

Thts a good list of shops where in u find all the baking ingredients Sayantini .....I'll keep it for my refrence in future...How r u ?..hope everything fine at ur end:)

Wonderful post Sayantani! Am sure Kolkata baking enthusiasts will find this really really helpful! And thanks so much for the mention here, that's very sweet of you.

Wow!amazing blog.
The best blog i have ever read.
Nice blog on Baking Supply.
Thanks for sharing

looks like it is the same story in most Indian cities... I wonder if Delhi or Bombay fare better in terms of the availability of ingredients... I've always wondered why Amul does not make cream cheese and sell it? Or why strawberries are so expensive in Bangalore even though they are grown in the outskirts... Your post will be really informative for the folks in Kolkata...

what a useful post for kolkatans :) Wish someone would compile a list like this in Virginia :)

Awesome job! this will help all of them interested in baking in and around Kolkotta

great list...atleast I can what all required to baking ...lol. thanks for visiting me:)

Do you know where you could get fondant and chocolate glazes in Calcutta? Thank You

You make me miss Kolkatta :-) Hope to be visiting soon :-)
Wishing you a lovely day!

Thanks everyone.

@shilpidi, Same here. I belong to santiniketan and now discovering the city as a new comer. come soon when time permits. will explore the city together.

@Archana, I dont see that coming very soon. why dont you try to put up a list? just mention the stores you know and fellow Goa dwellers will fill in all the other informations am sure.

Great job! Such a treasure for all kolkata ppl....wish i had a similar list for delhi.Can't find parchment paper or mascarpone cheese at the local shops.pretty sure its available somwhere in delhi,but as u said,have to know where to look :(

Awesome...I wish u had a list covering Bangalore too:)

kolkata people are lucky...
an AWARD for you sayantani..
visit my blog for details...

Fantastic job.
The best blog i have ever read on Baking Supply.
Thanks for sharing.

THANK YOU SO MUCH !! I have been going crazy trying to find baking supplies in calcutta. One question. I do not have a food processor and am unable to make my own powder sugar. I have found Truth brand superfine sugar in S.City Spencers, but I just cannot find powder sugar in Kolkata. There is one by Weikfield, but it is a mix of starch, and glucose with powder sugar. Eeyech.

If you have an idea, do let us know. We can make icing !!

Great blog. Thanks a lot !!

@SharD, The south city spencer's is the worst place to find anything. lots of thing stacked on the racks and the stuffs even dont have any idea what is what...anyways have seen weikfield icing sugar there and even in the Spencer's @ Avishar mall (Prince Anwar shah connector).

between if you have a normal mixer grinder use that to powder your sugar. dont pulse for long, give time gaps in between and later sieve to get fine powdered sugar. this is good for all bakes. but for icing you need the store bought ones.

Hi, i'm an 18yr old and i absolutely love baking. But just like you i have been having a lot of difficulty in finding the correct ingredients here in kolkata. Thanks for your list. Really helpful for someone like me. there's just this one little query that i still have, where do i get fondant? please let me know at the earliest.

@Anon, thanks for your comment. but sorry cant help you this time...fondant in Kolkata seems like an distant dream. try making your own...please let me know if you are lucky in finding though.

Sayantani- what a find your blog is - thanks for listing out all these shops - have been looking for cupcake liners - good to know those Gariahat shops stock them ! A friend directed me to your blog !

Agree with Vidya who says its like a bakers' treasure map !

A wonderful list, thanks so much. I have been hunting for cream cheese suppliers.

SharD -- You get icing sugar in a lot of para mudi'r dokan. Check yours. Otherwise you can get it all over New Market, Gariahat etc.

I myself powder the normal granulated sugar lightly before baking with it -- it makes mixing much faster. (I measure first and then powder.)

@Eve;s lung and Sue, thanks for your appreciation.

@Sue, Spencer's also stock Britannia cream cheese which is cheaper than the other brands. bought 1 tub last week but yet to bake with it.

Sayantani -- Spencer's South City? Haven't found it at any of the others. Will check South City out.

@Sue, yes they also have but I got mine from their anwar shah branch.

Anwar Shah Connector? I tried that the other day. OK, will keep a lookout then. My husband likes cheesecake, you see. :)

(BTW please ignore if this feels intrusive to you but -- if you live in the neighbourhood and would like to meet up, mail me some time. I live within walking distance from the Anwar Shah Connector Spencers.)

Hello

I was hunting for a list of shops so that I could make my mom a perfect cheese cake. thanks a ton.

Take care

Hi There.......Would you be able to help me plz. Would be much obliged!

Am in a dilemma. Am from the northeast and its very difficult to find good baking ingredients and ware in this part of India where live. Is there any Indian online websites from where i can make purchases of things like food coloring, pie flan dishes, cookie cutters etc.

Thanks....a tonne!

ally...

btw have tried the Bangalore Institue website but the available stocks are very limited :(

@Ally, thanks for your visit. Bangalore Institute of baking does not have a very updated blog. but give them a call and order your requirements. talk to them regarding the mode of payment and they will deliver the products you need.

also try out General food additives in Bangalore.

Ebay.co.in also has a lot of products these days. check their site.

and if nothing helps amazon.com will definitely send you the things you need. a little pricey but at least you will get what you want.

but the best option would be ask anybody who is visiting Kolkata to collect the things. still, if nothing helps let me know.

I have searching for information and finally this blog is very good and the great work done..

thanks a ton!!!i live in kolkata and love baking but cant find most of the ingredients!but is truly helpful but there is one more thing i would like to ask plz let me know if i can get golden syrup anywhere in kolkata thank you!!

god! Cant thank you enough! Great job for those new to kolkata n fond of baking :)

can anybody tell me where to find a candy thermometer in Calcutta?

All the dried yeasts I've tried so far are terrible. The dough doesn't rise at all. Can you suggest a store which stocks good active dry yeast?

All the dried yeasts I've tried so far are terrible. The dough doesn't rise at all. Can you suggest a store which stocks good active dry yeast?

@Paro, sorry to dishearten you but am yet to find good yeast in Kolkata. for all my yeatsed bakes I use Gloripan brand which I source from Bangalore. Try writing to this http://www.generaladditives.com/
they are the supplier for this brand. if you buy in bulk they might ship it to your address. Good luck.

As far as Gum paste cutters are concerned, we have a bengali version to it, available at all the new market shops. They are called "chhaach". Surely this would help, it works fine for me.

@Anon. is it the same sandesh er chaac. can you name a shop selling this or the location? I really need to get some.

Hey, can you please tell me where I can find puff pastry sheets and ramekins in Kolkata?

@gigli, no idea about puff pastry sheets but remekins are easily available at home town or westside outlets.

I never got to THANK YOU Sayantani for your advice @ general additives/B'lore institute. Thanks a lot. Sorry am really really late :( :D

@lly..........

Hiya,

Thanks for all the info...really helpful :) Can you tell me if cupcake tins are available in Kolkata?

Thanks
P

@anon. yes they are available in all the places mentioned in the list.

You can ask for puff pastry at Johnson's in new market. They usually keep it

u get colored cup cake paper in Boboraaly,new market...for mini and normal cup cakes...they come in a variety of colored prints but one pack contains only one design...costs Rs. 150 per packet...pretty expensive ha!

Thank you as was looking for chocolat! Now my hope is back... thank you!!!!

Thanks...amio vabchilam bangalore theke boye boye kolkata niye jabo sob kine tine..but akhon mone hoy na ar lagbe! :P

thanks.so. much! bochorer por. Bochor wait korchilam ak khana piping bag er jonno!

thanks.so. much! bochorer por. Bochor wait korchilam ak khana piping bag er jonno!

Sayantani, thanks a ton for sharing this list..was desperately looking to buy baking equipment (like piping bags for frosting) in Kolkata as a cheaper option to the expensive online products. Cannot thank you enough for compiling the list, had already scoured through Spencers South City for piping bags but without any result. Time to check out the good old New Market shops ! :-))

Thankx a ton Sayantani...the most useful piece of information that I came across while desperately searching for baking equipment like piping bags in Kolkata :-))

Thanks a lot Sayantani for your effort and it was so helpful.....but something what I felt about Baborally Sirdar was that the customer service they have is not at all cordial for small purchasers like me...I just hope they work on it.

Thanks a lot Sayantani for the listing and it no doubt was of great help. But what I felt about Baborally Sirdar was that the customer service needs much improvement and should be more cordial with small purchasers. However Metro and Spencer's also store some great stuff.... MCN.

Hey thanks a lot for this! I stay in Pune and my in-laws are in Kolkata. I always used to carry all my baking stuff whenever I visted because after several long and tiring searches I had failed miserbly to find a single decent shop to buy this stuff from in Kolkata. I'd once scoured a dozen shops including the spencer s and metro cash and carry to find lady fingers for my Tiramisu! Phew!! Punekars of course are blessed to have places like Dorabjee's and ABC Farms for all of this stuff and more! Thanks again. Really useful!

Thanks a lot for sharing the info, I do plan to visit the new market today , the information would be very handy , I visited Spencers at New Town , they don't have yeast and even all purpose flour, do you have any idea where I can find all purpose flour please, if there is any magic formula mixing gluten powder in which flour , if you know it would be highly appreciated..

@K Singh, Glad that you found it helpful. What we get here in Kolkata as All purpose flour is the normal Maida. Any brand Ashis, Ganesh or Spencer's own brand is good enough for normal home baking. you will get wheat gluten at Babar ali or B.L. Saha in new market. just ask anyone in the hogg market area and they will help you locate these shops. you can mix 1 tbsp gluten to 1 cup of normal flour and 2 tbsp o a cup of wheat flour (atta).
both these shops also stock good quality yeast as well (both fresh and active dry).

Hi Sayantani,

Thanks for the info, I got most of the stuffs I was looking for and for the clarification on the all purpose flour and for the comment in my blog.

hi every body, nice to read ur chit chat here, very interesting. can i give u some advice. the main ingredients(back bone) of baking is cake flour and strong flour for cake and bread making.is not found in these places. u only find all purpose flour. u can make ur own too(cake flour)
sugars too are not found. eg caster, brown, light brown pure cane, liquid corn syrup,golden caster,
the only ingredient u find in confectionary decoration is butter cream.now days fondant and mousses have become very popular. try those of as cakes. jeff

Hey! this list is really very helpful..you can also see www.mirascakeart.com, you get a lot of the things there. no shop though only online but good stuff!

Hi, thanks so much for the information!! They are so helpful! I just would like to know if it is possible to find cake flour here? or even bread flour?

@Alexia, You might find cake flour in Spencer's South city but they dont stock it regularly. better you order them online. There are plenty of gourmet stores that ship such unusual ingredients all over India.

hello,thanx for the post,but i'd lik to tell you that tracing paper and butter paper are diff stuff

@Anon, thanks for your comment but please note I dint mention Baking paper or Parchment paper. What they sell here, at least at the time I wrote this post were nothing but butter paper which were very similar to normal tracing papers.

Thanks a lot ! Would you have any idea where I could get unsalted butter for icings and those sort of things?

Thank U so much

Thank you so much for all the information. Eagerly waiting my next visit to New Market..

SS -- I've baked with the locally made white butter (it used to be available in a Lake Gardens shop, not any more). Once I adjusted the liquids to accommodate the extra water from the butter, I had no problems. Cakes came out very well, and shortcrust pastry needed no extra liquid.

Hi sue! I actually try to make croissants and puff pastry with the unsalted butter and in these things i do not like a butter that is high in water content. But have to make through with what is available till i can find some really good quality white butter

SS -- I agree, not at all suitable for puff pastry. I think I needed to add a little extra flour than usual for shortcrust (though not much). In cakes I had no problem. There is a dairy products shop next to the Tipu Masjid at Prince Anwar Shah - S P Mukherjee Road crossing where I was told I might find white butter but I haven't yet been there.

Try Krishna stores, next to the French loaf outlet just off Judges Court road. Mascarapone, unsalted butter, cream fraiche, filo pastry. Reliable chap, but bit expensive

Thanks a ton for this information. Me going to kolkata and dont knw where to buy the baking stuffs:))

Thank you for this list. Very helpful.

Thanks for the list. Very Helpful.

Do you know where I can get cake and cupcake boxes? I often give people cakes on their birthday and instead of buying big, ugly plastic boxes, it'll be a nice change to use boxes. I have searched online, but they seem to be available on in bulk, which is not feasible for me.

Thanks in advance!

@Sanjana, sorry in Kolkata also they sell only in bulk.

Hi! I am really amazed by the detaiings given. Thanks a ton. Please do write if I could also help you in any way. Thanks once again.

Hi,
This was the best information available online. In-fact, I went to this Baborally Sirdar shop and got all my baking supplies from there.. one of them being the cooking chocolate. Though locating the shop using only the address is difficult, if asked any shopkeeper about baborally, they will point it correctly. :)

Thanks a lot for this valuable information ...

Dear Sayantani can you please tell me where can i get a cake topper photo printed in kolkata? baking an anniversary cake and want to print a photo on it.

@Anon, dont think its available anywhere in Kolkata. you will have to order from angalore, Chennai or Mumbai. Search online for those options

Hi sayantani ur blog is great very helpful i have started baking very recently i am a homemaker i have bought my measurement cups from babarali's but i find sometimes my cakes turn out good sometimes it gets spoiled can u advise where to get proper baking cups and spoons in kolkata i also need a digital weighing scale where will i get all this at reasonable prices in kolkata?

@NAsima, Hi. The measuring cups from Babarali is as good as from other shops. dont worry about that. If you are looking for fancier ones they look on Amazon or Ebay.
Weighing scale you will get at Hiramoti @ South city mall. or you can also buy online.

thanks a lot for sharing such lovely informative list......I was looking for where to get fresh red cherry.....Spencer's stuff in plastic boxes is not always good.....have you ever found them inside New Market?......I do not visit this area nowadays.....New Market was the heaven of our salad days....

lots of best wishes.....

Huge list of baking Ingredients, thanks for sharing !

Thanks for the info :) where will I get unsalted butter?? Tired of searching it online 😢
Couldn't find in any nearby shops too.. plz reply soon

@Aarthi am yet to find it in Kolkata. get my supply from Bangalore

Hi All! went to Baborally in New Market yday and they just ripped me off! everything there is double the price. I realized this when i discovered Apna Dukan which sells everything at half the price. would highly recommend Apna Dukan. Wish i had seen this blog before going to new market!

I get my unsalted butter from a local ghee shop (in Behala) where than man makes it at home. Pretty sure if you can find a shop that sells homemade ghee, you'll get unsalted butter there. In old bazaars, you get this kind of shops.

Thank you so much for this post!!

some of the cake ingredient is also available in ebay they are adding products on continous basis. link http://stores.ebay.in/Tripathi-Products

Mam can you tell from where I can get puff pastry sheets?

You are very correct. BABAR ALI SIRDAR IS SO OVERPRICED..today i bought a cake mould from there they took 220/- for that...when i asked the APNA DUKAN's staff how much is the price of that exact mould...they told me 150/-....they took 225 for cream cheese while APNA DUKAN is taking 195 for the same cream cheese.

Plz let me know whether rich's whip topping is available at new market area.?
