Lucknowi Biryani

Lucknowi Biryani, also known as Awadhi Biryani, is a fragrant and flavorful rice dish originating from Lucknow, India. It features long-grain Basmati rice layered with tender, marinated meat such as chicken or mutton, cooked with aromatic spices like saffron, cardamom, and cloves. The biryani is traditionally prepared using the "Dum" method, where it’s slow-cooked in a sealed pot to allow the flavors to meld. The result is a rich, moist dish with a delicate balance of spice and aroma, often served with cooling side dishes like raita. It exemplifies Nawabi culinary craftsmanship and refined flavors.
