The dish is typically made with chicken or mutton, marinated in a mixture of yogurt and spices, and then layered with partially cooked rice before being slow-cooked to perfection. This biryani is distinct from other varieties due to its use of local ingredients and cooking techniques. It often includes ingredients like fried onions, boiled eggs, and fresh herbs, enhancing its rich taste and aroma. Malabar biryani is a popular choice for festive occasions and family gatherings.
