Hyderabadi Biryani<\/b><\/h3>\n

Telangana’s capital dazzles with its rich, flavorful cuisine. From non-veg dishes to South Indian veg specialties, the city leaves your palate craving for more. Hyderabadi biryani<\/a> is popular worldwide and has two types; \u2018kachi yakhni ki biryani\u2019 and \u2018pakki yakhni ki biryani\u2019. While the \u2018kachi\u2019 is made using marinated raw meat that is added as a layer over the basmati rice and infused with fried onions, saffron and herbs, the \u2018pakki\u2019 is made by cooking the rice and meat in different pots and then adding it as layers just before giving dum to the biryani.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With a history as rich as its food scene, Lucknow, the city of Nawabs, is home to everything from tunday kebabs to the delicately spiced Awadhi biryani, one of the famous biryanis of India<\/a>, making it a paradise for food lovers. The chicken is marinated separately, then combined with the cooked rice. It is said that doing so enhances the biryani\u2019s taste and makes it even more delicious.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kolkata Biryani <\/b><\/h3>\n

Kolkata is known for its unique yet delicious cuisine. The dishes here have a bit of sweetness and so does the biryani. Even the spices used in the preparation of biryani are milder when compared with the variants in other cities. Fried potato added along with meat is a unique and integral part of the biryani here and gives it an amazing flavor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bombay Biryani<\/b><\/h3>\n

Apart from vada pav and other street food items, Mumbai is also famous for its \u2018Bombay biryani\u2019. It is prepared using chicken\/mutton\/vegetables, spicy fried potatoes and kewra water, which enhances the taste of this dish with its floral aroma. Dried plums are also added to it along with spices, which gives it a tangy and sweet flavor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Malabar Biryani <\/b><\/h3>\n

The biryani at Kerala\u2019s Thalassery is also a must-try. Also known as \u2018Malabar biryani\u2019, it is sweet, spicy and has a distinct flavor of south Indian ingredients such as coconut, curry leaves etc. It is made using the Jeerakasala or Kaima rice instead of basmati rice. Fennel seeds, meat, fried onions, sauteed cashews, raisins etc, are also added to make this dish. The rice is cooked separately and is only mixed with the meat at the time of serving.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dindigul Biryani:\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Dindigul Biryani from Tamil Nadu is a total game changer if you\u2019re tired of the heavy, greasy biryanis. As one of the famous biryanis of India, Dindigul Biryani uses seeraga samba rice instead of basmati, making it much lighter. With the tangy twist from the yogurt-marinated meat, it sets itself apart from the rest. It\u2019s got the spice, but it\u2019s not greasy, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking to try something new.<\/span><\/p>\n
