Kolkata Biryani, also known as Calcutta Biryani, is a unique variation of biryani that originated in the city of Kolkata, India. It is influenced by the flavors of Mughlai and Awadhi cuisines. The biryani is made with fragrant basmati rice, tender meat (usually chicken or mutton), and a blend of spices like cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg. What sets Kolkata Biryani apart is the addition of potatoes and boiled eggs, which add a unique texture and flavor to the dish. The meat and rice are cooked separately and then layered together, resulting in a biryani that is both flavorful and visually appealing.
