Hyderabadi Biryani

Hyderabadi Biryani is a renowned dish originating from Hyderabad, India, known for its rich flavors and fragrant aroma. It’s primarily made with basmati rice, marinated meat (usually chicken or mutton), and a blend of spices such as saffron, cardamom, and cloves. The dish is prepared using the "dum" cooking technique, where the ingredients are layered and slow-cooked in a sealed pot, allowing the flavors to meld. Often served with raita (a yogurt side dish) and salad, Hyderabadi Biryani is celebrated for its unique taste and cultural significance in Indian cuisine.
