Experience our authentic Chicken Biryani - fragrant basmati rice layered with tender, marinated chicken pieces and aromatic spices. Slow-cooked to perfection using traditional Dum Pukht (dum pukht) style preparation, this royal Indian dish delivers complex flavors with every bite.
Chicken Biryani is a royal Indian dish that combines fragrant basmati rice with tender, marinated chicken and a perfect blend of aromatic spices. Our biryani is prepared using the traditional Dum Pukht (dum pukht) cooking method, where the rice and chicken are layered and slow-cooked in a sealed pot, allowing the flavors to infuse completely.
At Elaichi-Family Restaurant, we take pride in our authentic biryani preparation. The Dum Pukht method involves sealing the pot and cooking on low heat, allowing the rice to steam in the aromatic vapors of the spiced chicken. This traditional technique results in perfectly cooked rice with tender chicken and layers of complex flavors that make our biryani truly special.
Our Chicken Biryani is garnished with fried onions and fresh mint, and served with raita. This complete meal is perfect for any occasion and has become one of our most popular dishes.
