About This Dish
Our Chicken Biryani uses authentic dum cooking – layers of saffron basmati rice and spiced chicken sealed and slow-cooked until every grain is infused with flavor. Each serving features golden fried onions, fresh mint, and cooling raita.
The chicken is marinated in yogurt and spices before layering with partially cooked rice, saffron milk, and ghee. The sealed pot creates perfectly tender chicken and aromatic, separate rice grains.
