Awadhi Biryani

Awadhi Biryani is a traditional Indian dish originating from the Awadh region, now in Uttar Pradesh. It is a fragrant, flavorful rice dish made with high-quality basmati rice, tender meat (such as chicken or mutton), and a blend of aromatic spices like saffron, cardamom, and cinnamon. The cooking method often involves layering marinated meat and partially cooked rice, then slow-cooking (dum) to allow the flavors to meld beautifully. Known for its delicate balance of spice and aroma, Awadhi Biryani is often garnished with fried onions, boiled eggs, and fresh herbs, making it a rich culinary experience.
