Rooster pola is usually made with local roosters, because the taste and smell of local roosters make this pola more delicious and homely.

The main attraction of cooking this pola is its spices and patience in cooking. The aroma of ginger, garlic, cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves is mixed in every grain of rice. The rice is pre-soaked and cooked with chicken broth, which makes the rice fluffy and fragrant.

In a village house or a small kitchen in the city—this polawa brings people together at a table. Every Lokma tastes of love, care and family warmth. Therefore, Rooster polawa means satisfaction, tradition and pride of Bengali.
