Hyderabadi 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 often cooked using a method called "dum," where the ingredients are layered and slow-cooked to enhance the flavors. This biryani is typically served with side dishes such as raita (a yogurt-based condiment) and salad. It is a popular choice for special occasions and celebrations, reflecting the culinary heritage of the Nizams of Hyderabad.
