Biryani, a beloved Indian dish, consists of fragrant basmati rice layered with your choice of meat or vegetables and cooked with a variety of spices. The Hyderabadi biryani is a popular variation, known for its rich combination of spices and meats, the unique layering technique, and being cooked in a covered pot, often sealed with a pastry crust. This home-style version dates back to the Mughal Empire in India, where using game meat was a popular choice of protein. And what better time to indulge in this lavish feast than during the festive Diwali season?
