Malabar Biryani is a popular biryani variation from the Malabar region in the southern state of Kerala, India. It is known for its unique blend of spices and the use of fragrant ghee (clarified butter). The meat (usually chicken or mutton) is marinated in a mixture of spices, yogurt, and ghee, and then cooked with partially cooked basmati rice. The biryani is then layered with fried onions, raisins, and cashews, and cooked on low heat to allow the flavors to meld together. The Malabar Biryani is a rich and aromatic dish that is loved by biryani enthusiasts.
