Kolkata Biryani is a unique variation of biryani that originated in the city of Kolkata, West Bengal. It is influenced by the flavors of Awadhi and Mughlai cuisines. The biryani is made with fragrant basmati rice, succulent meat (usually chicken or mutton), and a blend of spices like cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg. What sets Kolkata Biryani apart is the addition of boiled eggs and potatoes, which add a unique texture and flavor to the dish.
