What it is

Hyderabadi biryani is the layered, dum-cooked biryani of the Deccan: long-grain basmati over meat marinated in curd and spice, with fried onions, mint and a little saffron-tinted milk, sealed in the pot and finished on low heat. It is a different dish from the seeraga samba biryanis of Dindigul and Ambur.

This masala goes into the marinade, so the flavour builds in the meat before the rice goes on top. The result should be layered, with spiced meat below and fragrant rice above. Choosing between biryani options? Annapoorna Hyderabadi for layered basmati biryani; Aachi Dindigul Seeraga Samba Biryani Kit for a Tamil-style kit; Cookd Dindigul Biryani Paste for a ready paste.

Tip: Seal the pot lid with a strip of atta dough before the dum. No steam escapes, and the top layer of rice cooks through.

Goes well with: Daawat Original Basmati Rice, Heera Butter Ghee, Anil Chakki Fresh Atta
