Ambur Biryani is a famous biryani from the town of Ambur in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, India. It is made with fragrant basmati rice, tender meat (usually chicken or mutton), 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. What sets Ambur Biryani apart is the use of a special spice blend called 'Ambur masala', which gives the biryani its unique flavor and aroma. The dish is then cooked on low heat, allowing the flavors to develop and the rice to absorb the aromatic spices. Ambur Biryani is known for its spicy and flavorful taste and is often served with raita and brinjal curry.
