What is 'DUM' BIryani?
'Dum' is a two-step cooking process that is traditionally used to make biryanis. The rice and chicken are cooked seperately first in open containers and then cooked together in low heat in a sealed pot (the 'hundy'). The word 'dum' comes from the second step, which literally means 'slow cooking in a sealed container'. However, due to time and other constraints most biryanis available at restaurants are sautéed chicken and rice dishes. We follow the original process that gives our biryani its unique flavor. That, and a few other secrets that we won't reveal here :)
WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT 'KOLKATA CUISINE'?
India is a vast country that often gets stereotyped in many ways, one of them being its food. What most people know as Indian food is essentially North Indian cuisine — naan, tikka masalas, saag paneer, samosas, butter chicken, etc. Kolkata, also known as Calcutta, is a city in eastern India with a rich culinary heritage shaped not only by its own unique and subtle cuisine but also by diverse influences — whether through invasion or immigration — such as the Mughals, the Chinese, the British (as Calcutta was once the capital of British India), and the Bangladeshis. As a result, the cuisine incorporates unique signatures from each influence, reflected in the sheer diversity of dishes with their low spice levels, richness, fragrance, focus on ingredients, and vegetarian-, vegan-, pescatarian-, and gluten-friendly options. We come from this part of India and love sharing our family recipes with our patrons. So, if you're craving naan, butter chicken, or saag paneer, there are so many awesome restaurants to choose from. But if you're looking for something different, we'd love to serve you!
