Essential Ingredients
For authentic flavor, you'll need premium biryani masala, basmati rice, meat or vegetables, yogurt, and aromatic spices like green cardamom and cloves.
The Secret to Layering
The key to perfect biryani is the dum (slow cooking) method. Layer partially cooked rice with marinated meat, seal the pot, and cook on low heat.
Marination is Key
Marinate your protein for at least 2 hours with yogurt, garam masala, ginger-garlic paste, and our special biryani masala.

Rice Preparation
Cook basmati rice 70% done with whole spices like cumin, bay leaves, and cardamom. The rice should still have a bite.
The Dum Process

Garnishing
Top with fried onions, fresh mint, coriander, and a drizzle of saffron milk for that authentic touch.
