Lucknowi Dum Biryani, also known as Awadhi Biryani, is a royal and richly flavored biryani from the city of Lucknow in India. It is made with fragrant long-grain basmati rice, tender meat (usually chicken or mutton), and a blend of aromatic spices. The biryani is cooked in the traditional dum style, where the meat and rice are layered together and slow-cooked in a sealed pot, allowing the flavors to infuse and the meat to become tender and juicy.
