Malabar Biryani is a popular biryani variation from the Malabar region in the southern state of Kerala, India. It is known for its distinct flavors and the use of coconut and spices. The biryani is made with fragrant basmati rice, tender meat (such as chicken or fish), and a blend of spices like cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, and fennel seeds. What sets Malabar Biryani apart is the addition of coconut milk, which gives it a creamy and rich texture. The meat and rice are cooked separately and then layered together, allowing the flavors to meld together. The result is a biryani that is both aromatic and delicious.
