Hyderabadi cuisine in general is marked by its richness, and this biryani tops the charts! There is a rich dimension to every component of this biryani.
The koftas are made of potatoes and paneer perked up with dry fruits, nuts and cream, while the rice itself is flavoured with whole spices and herbs and enhanced with a rich paste of cashewnuts and melon seeds.
The Hyderabadi Sofiyani Biryani has sweet, hot and spicy dimensions, which make it a dashing treat for your taste buds. While many of the ingredients like ginger, green chillies, etc. add to the pungency of this rich preparation, dairy products give it a luxuriant feel.
However, a cup of pineapple cubes added to the biryani makes all the difference because its juicy, tangy, sweet taste helps to highlight all the other flavours of this dish.
Enjoy it hot and fresh with a garnish of fried onions. You will also enjoy other Hyderabadi delicacies like the Khubani ka Meetha and the Mirchi ka Salan .
