This comforting Kolkata classic pairs long‑grain basmati with golden fried onions, gentle whole spices, and the city’s signature duo: a buttery aloo and perfectly boiled eggs. The rice is finished on dum for fluffy, separate grains, carrying mellow warmth from bay leaf, cinnamon, cardamom, and clove, with optional saffron and kewra for a delicate perfume. Each serving delivers balanced spice, restrained heat, and a clean, savory finish. Served with salad and raita.
