The Murg Qurmay Ki Biryani dates back to the era of the Nizams, if one is to be specific then it comes forth from the regal era of the sixth Nizam of Hyderabad: Maiboob Ali Pasha!
Asaf Jah VI, as he was known, was a charismatic personality who believed in a lavish lifestyle that saw an abundance of clothes and cars – to the extent that he made it a point to wear a different outfit every day (historians have even claimed that an entire wing of his palace was kept just for storing his entire wardrobe).
Nawab Bahadur Sirajud Dawlah (another one of his names) believed in the bacchanalian aspect of a lavish lifestyle. Therefore, his chefs worked overtime in bringing forth one delicacy after another to please the taste buds of His Highness. The Murg Qurmay Kee Biryani is one of those delicacies and today finds its next-to-nearest rendition on the richly furnished tables standing in the Kalash – the gateway to heavenly delicacies and one-of-its-kind present in all the hotels in Kolkata.
This particular version is essentially a dum-style biryani and, therefore, makes use of all the standard ingredients that are used for cooking biryanis. However, there is a secret recipe for creating the mixture to be used for marinating the chicken! This recipe has been researched highly by the chefs of the Kalash and, therefore, stands today as the honest replication of the original one that was used for creating the culinary member of the lavish lifestyle of the Nizam.
Therefore, for all those who visit the Kalash, ordering the Murg Qurmay Ki Biryani is a must thing to do! After all, the HHI, Kolkata among all the hotels in Kolkata presents the Kalash which brings forth the glorious and, of course, delicious chance of laying one’s hands on this sumptuous presentation.
