Hyderabadi Biryani

Hyderabadi biryani is the crown jewel of Indian rice dishes, a fragrant layered preparation of basmati rice and marinated meat slow-cooked together in a sealed pot (dum). The Kacchi style uses raw marinated meat layered with partially cooked rice, allowing the flavors to meld during the slow cooking process. Each grain of saffron-infused rice is distinct, and the dish is traditionally served with mirchi ka salan and raita.
