Lucknowi Biryani, also known as Awadhi Biryani, is a royal and aromatic dish that originated in the city of Lucknow in India. It is made with basmati rice, tender meat (usually chicken or mutton), and a blend of aromatic spices. Lucknowi Biryani is known for its rich flavors and the use of saffron, which gives the rice a beautiful yellow color. The meat is marinated with yogurt and spices, then cooked with partially cooked rice in layers, creating a flavorful and fragrant dish. Lucknowi Biryani is often garnished with fried onions, fresh mint leaves, and served with raita or a side salad. It is a must-try for biryani lovers and is often served at special occasions and weddings.
