Hot and spicy Kolkata for Cameron
Kolkata, Nov 14 (NITN) British Prime Minister David Cameron succumbed to a temptation in Kolkata- it's spicy street food for which the city is known.

 On a day he met West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and interacted with the students of Indian Institute of Management Calcutta, Cameron also tweeted that he ate some Kolkata street food- hot and spicy.

He also posted a picture on his Twitter page.

"Loved the hot, spicy lentil cakes in a Calcutta market after a busy day of meetings," tweeted Cameron who also strolled in Howrah Bridge, another icon of the city.
