Chettinad Biryani is a spicy biryani variation that originated in the Chettinad region of the southern state of Tamil Nadu, India. It is made with seeraga samba rice, a short-grain rice variety, and meat (usually chicken or mutton). The rice is cooked separately with spices like cinnamon, cloves, and bay leaves, while the meat is cooked separately with a unique blend of spices. The two are then layered together and cooked on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together. Chettinad Biryani is known for its fiery and aromatic taste.
