Authentic Kolkata Chicken Biryani (Restaurant Style)

THE KING OF BIRYANIS! This is the ultimate guide to making an Authentic Kolkata Biryani at home. 🥔🍗

If you love Biryani, you know that the Kolkata style is special. It is famous for its subtle, aromatic flavour and the addition of a soft, golden potato (aloo) and boiled egg that soaks up all the juices. In this video, I am sharing the secrets to achieving that distinct Restaurant Style taste right in your own kitchen.

Unlike spicy versions, this Chicken Biryani is fragrant, delicate, and deeply satisfying. I will teach you the art of "Dum" cooking—layering the meat, rice, and aromatics to perfection. Whether you are a beginner or a pro, this step-by-step guide will help you master the perfect rice texture and tender chicken every time.

In this Masterclass, you will learn:
-The Kolkata Marinade: The specific spice blend that gives the chicken its unique flavour.
-The Potato Secret: How to cook the potato so it is perfectly soft and flavourful inside the biryani.
-The Aroma: How to use Rose Water and Kewra Water for that authentic scent.
-Dum Cooking: The simple technique for perfectly fluffy, non-sticky rice.

This is the perfect Celebration Meal or Sunday lunch for the whole family!
