Chicken Chaap Kolkata
Kolkata chicken chaap in poppy-cream orange gravy, the biryani's sidekick at Arsalan. The Sunday-special format that every region does differently. Plate with flaky paratha and sliced onions.

Chef's tip
Taste as you go — chili heat, salt and sourness should all lift each other, not fight.
