Kozhikode Biryani, also known as Calicut Biryani, is a popular biryani recipe from the city of Kozhikode in the state of Kerala, India. It is known for its unique blend of flavors and the use of fragrant rice like Jeerakasala or Khaima rice. The key ingredients in this biryani are fragrant rice, meat (usually chicken or mutton), and a blend of spices. The meat is marinated in 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. It is often garnished with fried onions, cashews, and raisins.
