Kolkata Biryani is a unique and flavorful rice dish from the city of Kolkata, India. It is influenced by the Awadhi style of biryani but has its own distinct flavors. Kolkata Biryani is made by cooking marinated meat (usually chicken or mutton) with fragrant spices, potatoes, and partially cooked basmati rice. The layers are then sealed with dough and cooked on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together. Kolkata Biryani is known for its subtle flavors, use of potatoes, and the addition of boiled eggs as a garnish.
