Shahi Biryani

Shahi Biryani is a luxurious, aromatic Indian rice dish, traditionally prepared for special occasions and royal feasts. It features fragrant Basmati rice layered with tender, spiced meats like chicken or mutton, and is infused with rich flavors from ingredients such as saffron, yogurt, nuts, dried fruits, and aromatic spices like cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves. Often cooked using the "dum" method—sealed and slow-cooked to allow flavors to meld—Shahi Biryani offers a harmonious blend of savory, sweet, and spicy notes, making it a celebrated example of regal Indian cuisine.
