Work your way East to far off West Bengal and try the Kolkata Biryani.

Rich in history it is now a staple in the city of Kolkata, which was once ruled by Nawabs (Mughal princes).

From Hyderabad, the land of Nawabs, comes the Rampuri Gosht Biryani. This delicacy is integral to Rampuri cuisine – a confluence of numerous culinary arts taken from Awadhi, Mughlai and Afghani sources and features succulent pieces of lamb, tomato puree, caramelized onions, and mint and ghee rice infused with spices.
The final chapter in Biryani Tales is given to the northern Indian mint drenched Murgh Pudina Biryani, a Delhi-style chicken and rice blend that is robust and heavy on flavors. All the biryanis are served with raita, a condiment made of mildly spiced yoghurt.
