Chicken Biryani | Kolkata Style Chicken Biryani Recipe

Calcutta/Kolkata Chicken Biryani is a mixed rice dish inspired by Awadhi cuisine. Biryani usually cooked with rice, Yogurt, meat and spices. Calcutta Biryani is much lighter on spices and serving potato with meat is the specialty of Kolkata Biryani. Nutmeg, Mace, Cinnamon, Cardamom, Saffron, rose water and screwpine water ( Meetha Attar) these are the quintessential ingredients for this Biryani.
One can easily get Screwpine water or Meetha Attar in Calcutta or West Bengal, but it really hard to get outside the state. So if you don’t get in your locality, you can skip it but adding a few drops of Meetha Attar really make the difference.

The specialty of Kolkata biryani is Potato and Egg are also
served in basic Chicken biryani.
