Lucknowi Dum Biryani, also known as Awadhi Biryani, is a royal and aromatic rice dish from Lucknow, India. It is made by cooking marinated meat (usually chicken or mutton) with fragrant spices, saffron-infused milk, and partially cooked basmati rice. The layers are then sealed with dough and slow-cooked on low heat, allowing the flavors to develop and the rice to become tender and fluffy. The Lucknowi Dum Biryani is known for its delicate flavors and the perfect balance of spices.
