Awadhi Biryani is a traditional rice dish originating from the Awadh region in northern India. It is known for its rich flavors and aromatic spices, often made with marinated meat, such as chicken or mutton, and layered with fragrant basmati rice. The cooking technique involves slow-cooking, allowing the ingredients to meld together, resulting in a delicious and hearty meal. This biryani is distinct from other varieties due to its use of the Dum cooking method, where the pot is sealed to trap steam. It is typically garnished with fried onions, fresh herbs, and served with raita or salad, making it a popular choice for special occasions and celebrations.
