Ambur Biryani is a famous biryani recipe from the town of Ambur in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, India. It is known for its unique blend of spices and the use of seeraga samba rice, a short-grain rice variety. The biryani is made with meat (usually chicken or mutton), a blend of spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom, and caramelized onions. The meat is marinated in a mixture of yogurt and spices, then cooked with partially cooked rice in layers. The biryani is then cooked on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together. The Ambur Biryani is known for its distinct taste and the use of seeraga samba rice, which gives it a unique texture.
