Kolkata is a city for which food is an emotion and a celebration. Thus was born a dish in the city that has stuck with it in its most authentic form in the era of fusion foods. Chicken kyiv has been on the streets since the city was Calcutta and not as we know it today – Kolkata. Lively and tasty, A La kyiv is still as young as it was 70 years ago.
The dish was introduced to Mocambo in 1956 by an Italian chef who was brought to Calcutta. He was a master of European cuisine, with kinds of pasta from Italy, Poisson Meunière from France and Chicken Stroganoff and A la kyiv from Russia. But what dominated the tables the most was A La kyiv and that’s also why it’s still called ‘kyiv’ and not ‘Kyiv’.
