chicken biryani

Subcontinental poultry pilaf

Chicken biryani is a South Asian rice dish in which chicken is layered with basmati rice, spices, and aromatics, then cooked together so the flavors meld.

The dish varies by region—Hyderabadi biryani differs from Lucknowi or Kolkata styles—but all versions combine fragrant rice with seasoned meat.
