First time trying Biryani — completely converted

I had never tried Biryani before this visit and I wasn't sure what to expect. The fresh and fishy taste hit immediately and made sense of the dish in a way descriptions never quite do. mustard oil is an ingredient I'd not encountered used quite like this before.

The a traditional Bengali home setting added something to the experience — this kind of food makes sense in that environment. Bengali cuisine shares roots with West Bengal India but has distinct Muslim food traditions. My server recommended aam panna green mango drink alongside and it was exactly right. I've been telling everyone to try Biryani. Outstanding first encounter.
