Malabar Biryani is a popular biryani recipe from the Malabar region in the southern state of Kerala, India. It is made with fragrant basmati rice, meat (usually chicken or mutton), and a unique blend of spices that includes fennel seeds, cinnamon, and star anise. The meat is marinated in a mixture of yogurt and spices, then cooked with partially cooked rice in layers. Malabar Biryani is known for its rich and aromatic flavors, with a hint of sweetness. The dish is often garnished with fried onions, cashews, and raisins, and is served with raita or pickle.
