Description
Biryani is an aristocratic dish from the Mughal era, considered the crown of Indian cuisine. Layers of aromatic basmati rice interspersed with spiced chicken create a spectacular, festive dish. Each grain of rice is infused with the flavors of spices - saffron, cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves. Traditionally, biryani is cooked using the dum method - in a tightly sealed pot, where the flavors meld together. This dish requires precision, but the final result - a rich aroma and harmonious blend of flavors - is worth the effort.

Tips
Biryani is best served in a large, decorative dish to highlight its elegance. Serve warm with raita, and you can garnish the dish with fresh herbs like coriander or mint. Use large serving spoons to make layering easier.
Store leftover biryani in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. You can also freeze the dish for up to 3 months. To reheat, it's best to use an oven or a pan with a little water to avoid drying it out.
