Kolkata is known for its unique style of biryani, which is a fragrant rice dish cooked with meat (such as chicken, mutton, or fish), aromatic spices, and potatoes. The Kolkata Biryani is distinct from other regional variations due to its subtle flavors and the use of potatoes, which add an extra layer of taste and texture to the dish. It is often served with raita (yogurt-based side dish) and is a favorite among biryani lovers.
