💡 Chef Tips

  • The dum (sealed slow cooking) is what makes biryani — the steam trapped inside finishes cooking everything perfectly.
  • Both the rice and chicken must be partially cooked before layering — fully cooked components become mushy.
  • Crispy fried onions (birista) are the most important garnish — make extra.
