Hyderabadi Biryani Recipes

Biryani

Biryani has become synonymous with the Hyderabadi cuisine. Biryani is a very richly flavoured rice preparation in which the rice is cooked with flavour-packed gravies, whole spices, veggies and other ingredients. Although the authentic recipes were non-vegetarian, over time the vegetarian versions also became very famous.

The sequence in which the ingredients are added to the Biryani and the way the rice is cooked are all significant steps that make a Biryani perfect! Nowadays, it is easy to make Biryani using a pressure cooker or microwave oven.

Lajjatdar Handi Biryani

The traditional method of cooking Biryani in an earthenware or closed handis gives them a special flavour and irresistible aroma. Relish the Lajjatdar Handi Biryani allowing every spoonful to rest on your palate and you will be able to discern the flavours. Another such preparation is the vegetable dum biryani, which is cooked in a closed handi sealed with chapati dough. This method is known as dum cooking which helps in sealing and retaining all the flavours.

Qabooli Biryani

Saffron-tinged rice layered with spicy kabooli chana gravy and baked for a while till the flavours meld to make an amazing one-dish meal Kabuli Chana Biryani. For kofta lovers, using the same ingredient i.e kabooli chana, you can make scrumptious koftas and toss them in a lip-smacking gravy and layer between rice to make delicious Kabuli Chana Kofta Biryani.

Hyderabadi Sofiyani Biryani

My personal favorites are the Hyderabadi Sofiyani Biryani and Egg Biryani Recipe which are extremely flavorful making it a dashing treat for your taste buds. Enjoy them with traditional accompaniments like Mirchi Ka Salan and Burhani raita.

Happy Cooking!
