Kolkata is a city for which food is an emotion and celebration. So was a dish born in the city that stayed with it in the most authentic form in an era of fusion foods. Chicken A la Kiev has been around the streets since the city was Calcutta and not how we know it today-Kolkata. Being alive in spirit and savoury, A La Kiev is still as young as it was 70 years ago.
The dish was introduced to Mocambo in 1956 by an Italian chef who was brought to Calcutta. He was a master of European cuisine, with kinds of pasta from Italy, Fish Meunière from France and Chicken Stroganoff and A la Kiev from Russia. But what ruled the tables most was A La Kiev and that’s also why it is still called ‘Kiev’ and not ‘Kyiv’.
However, the dish is equally simple to be made at home.
