All that pandal hopping can lead to hunger pangs. And nothing can fix that better than a piping hot serve of delicious biryani. If you're near Shib Mandir (the pujo near Menoka cinema and the Lakes) you'll get to indulge in a standout biryani made by one of Kolkata's best home chefs. Aunty Sima of Sima's Kitchen has put up a stall at Shib Mandir where she's serving a Durga Puja special new menu of delectable gosht, kebabs and her signature biryanis, along with nihari and shorbas. Polish it off with a slice of her sinful shahi tukda!
The recipes have been passed down over generations of Sima Ahmed’s family and hail from nawabi families of Lucknow.
