Maldivian Biryani is a flavorful rice dish, influenced by Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines. It is made with fragrant basmati rice, tender pieces of meat (usually chicken or fish), and a blend of aromatic spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and saffron. The biryani is cooked slowly, allowing the flavors to meld together, resulting in a delicious and aromatic dish. Maldivian Biryani is often served with raita, a yogurt-based sauce, and is a popular choice for special occasions and celebrations in the Maldives.
