This Kolkata classic balances finesse and comfort in every spoon. Marinated chicken is cooked till tender and layered with long‑grain basmati perfumed by whole spices, birista (fried onions), and a gentle saffron hue. Signature additions—a slow‑fried potato (aloo) and a whole boiled egg—bring richness and that unmistakable Kolkata touch. Finished on dum for fluffy, separate grains and a mellow, aromatic profile that’s never overly hot. Served with salad and raita.
