Thalassery Biryani is a famous biryani variant from the town of Thalassery in Kerala, India. It is known for its unique flavors and the use of a special rice variety called Jeerakasala rice. The key ingredients in this biryani are Jeerakasala rice, meat (usually chicken or mutton), and a blend of spices like fennel seeds, cinnamon, and cloves. The meat is marinated in a mixture of yogurt and spices, then cooked with partially cooked rice in layers. The biryani is then garnished with fried onions, cashews, and raisins. Thalassery Biryani is known for its fragrant taste and is often served with raita or pickle.
