What is Hyderabadi Biryani?2023-08-03T09:56:52+08:00

Hyderabadi biryani (also known as Hyderabadi dum biryani) is a style of biryani originating from Hyderabad, India made with basmati rice and meat (mostly mutton). Originating in the kitchens of the Nizam of Hyderabad, it combines elements of Hyderabadi and Mughlai cuisines. Hyderabad biryani is a key dish in Hyderabadi cuisine, and it is so famous that the dish is considered synonymous with the city of Hyderabad.

What makes Hyderabadi biryani different and special?2023-08-03T09:56:46+08:00

Hyderabadi Biryani is said to be spicier and savory. It is made in the form of Dum and has a lot of Saffron. Combining basmati rice and  chicken makes Hyderabadi biryani distinguishable from others. The presentation and the pungent spices are the hallmarks of Hyderabadi.

What to do if biryani is too spicy?2023-08-03T09:56:37+08:00

Adding dairy can help reduce the amount of spice in food and also provide a cooling effect. You should add raita (curd) to the dish to adjust the spice levels. Apart from adding in the dish, you should drink milk rather than water to reduce the effect of hot spicy food.

What’s your biryani recipe?2023-08-03T09:56:24+08:00

Now that would be telling. We use quality ingredients ranging from variety of spices and masalas, natural yogurt, chilis and saffron.

What do you put in the biryani marinate?2023-08-03T09:53:43+08:00

This is where the magic happens. The marinate is made using yoghurt, mixed spices, masalas, onions, nutmeg, mace, black cardamom, green cardamom, Kashmiri chillis, dried rose petals to name a few and the meat is thoroughly mixed through.

All our Indian food and biryani marination and pre-cooked biryani rice is done in 5-star hygiene rated catering kitchen. It goes without saying but our kitchen is kept very clean at all times.

Do you put saffron or color in your rice?2023-08-03T09:53:13+08:00

We use pure saffron. Never color as these spoils the taste of the food.

What kind of rice do you use?2023-08-03T09:53:04+08:00

We use proper biryani rice. These are long rice grains “basmati” rice that grow double the size when we leave them in water for a set amount of time. You can see how long the rice are in our product photos.
