Lucknowi Dum Biryani, also known as Awadhi Biryani, is a royal and indulgent dish that originated in the city of Lucknow, India. This biryani is made with fragrant long-grain basmati rice, tender meat (such as chicken or lamb), and a blend of aromatic spices. The meat is marinated in yogurt and spices, then layered with partially cooked rice. The layers are then sealed with dough and slow-cooked on low heat, allowing the flavors to develop and the meat to become tender. The result is a biryani that is rich, flavorful, and fit for a king.
