I have eaten all types of Biryani and my favourite is the Calcutta style Biryani which is famous for its addition of eggs and potatoes. When we were small we had eaten Biryani in Walima/ wedding in Kolkata but as we grew it became more popular and popular " Maasha Allah". Though my grandma and mom used to cooks delicious Veg pulao and varieties of it but Biryani was never tried at home until I learnt to cook Biryani from two of my Senior colleagues who were foodie like me and loved cooking as till early 2000 YouTube were still alien😀. Both used to cook Biryani but both their methods were different. Zafar sir used to put the washed and soaked raw/kachcha rice with the cooked mutton gravy, add measured warm water, garam masala and all other ingredients and give dum whereas Purnimadi used to layer precooked rice with the cooked mutton etc the way I have done it here.
I follow both methods depending on my mood 😉😀.
