Dindigul biryani is a flavorful rice dish originating from the town of Dindigul in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is known for its unique preparation method, where the rice is cooked with marinated meat, typically mutton or chicken, along with a blend of spices. The dish is characterized by its fragrant aroma and rich taste, often enhanced by the use of curd and fresh herbs. The biryani is traditionally served with a side of raita or salad, making it a complete meal. Unlike other biryanis, Dindigul biryani uses short-grain rice, which absorbs the flavors well. This dish has gained popularity beyond its region, celebrated for its distinct taste and cultural significance.
