Dum Biryani is a slow-cooked biryani that is known for its rich flavors and tender meat. It is made with fragrant basmati rice, tender meat (such as chicken, mutton, or fish), and a blend of spices. The meat is marinated in a mixture of yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, and spices, then cooked with partially cooked rice in layers. The dish is then sealed with dough and cooked on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together. What sets Dum Biryani apart is the cooking technique called 'dum', where the biryani is cooked in a sealed pot, trapping the steam and infusing the rice and meat with the flavors of the spices. Dum Biryani is known for its aromatic flavors and is often garnished with fried onions, mint leaves, and saffron strands.
