Hyderabadi Dum Biryani is a famous Indian dish known for its rich flavors and aromatic spices. Originating from the city of Hyderabad, this biryani is made with basmati rice, marinated meat (usually chicken or mutton), and a blend of spices like saffron, cardamom, and cloves. The dish is cooked using the "dum" method, where the ingredients are sealed in a pot and slow-cooked to allow the flavors to meld together. The preparation of Hyderabadi Dum Biryani involves layering partially cooked rice and marinated meat, then sealing the pot with dough to trap steam. This technique ensures that the rice absorbs the meat's juices, resulting in a flavorful and fragrant dish. Often served with raita (yogurt sauce) and salad, it is a popular choice for celebrations and special occasions.
