Chicken Biryani is the royal dish of Indian cuisine — a perfectly balanced combination of spicy chicken and aromatic basmati rice. Juicy pieces of chicken are marinated in yogurt and a rich blend of spices such as garam masala, turmeric, coriander, ginger, garlic and saffron.

After marinating, the chicken is cooked together with layers of rice, fried onions, fresh herbs and saffron, in a sealed container (dum method), so that all the flavors remain preserved and permeate each grain of rice.

The result is a fragrant, rich dish full of colors and flavors, which is served with raita (yogurt sauce), chutney or fresh salad.

Biryani is a dish that originated in the Mughal Empire and has been a symbol of luxury and opulence for centuries.
There are different regional versions — from Hyderabadi to Lucknowi style, each with its own peculiarities.
It is traditionally prepared using the dum technique — slowly cooked in its own steam so that the flavors remain rich and intense.
