Dum ki Biryani

We need a minimum of 3 days notice for this dish

Layers of basmati rice and marinated meat are sealed together and cooked slowly until each takes on the character of the other. The rice stays light and separate, the meat becomes fall-apart tender, and the whole pot fills with the aroma of saffron, fried onions, and warm spices. Every grain carries flavor from the layers below. Dum ki Biryani is defined by this layered cooking method, relying on gentle heat and a sealed pot rather than constant stirring. Served with cooling raita, it's the kind of dish that sits at the center of the table and draws everyone in.
