Chicken Biriyani

Description

Chicken Biriyani is one of India’s most celebrated dishes, known for its aromatic layers of basmati rice, spiced chicken, and slow-cooked perfection. Originating from Mughlai cuisine and later adapted into distinct regional variations across Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Hyderabad, it has become an enduring symbol of festive dining and culinary excellence. In South India, Chicken Biriyani holds a special place in homes and restaurants across Madurai, Coimbatore, and Kochi, and continues to be a favorite among Indian communities in Mississauga, Brampton, and Scarborough.

Prepared with marinated chicken cooked in a blend of yogurt, fried onions, mint, and freshly ground spices, the dish is layered with fragrant basmati rice and slow-cooked using the traditional dum method. The result is a flavorful, aromatic biriyani that perfectly balances spice, richness, and texture, reflecting India’s royal culinary heritage.
