What Makes Hyderabadi Biryani So Special?

The dum method seals marinated meat and part-cooked rice together, letting them finish cooking in their own steam.

Layering is everything — each layer of rice and meat is seasoned individually to build depth of flavour.

Saffron-infused milk and fried onions are added just before sealing the pot for aroma and richness.

Resting the biryani for at least 20 minutes after cooking allows the flavours to fully combine.
