One Plate of Biryani and We Gained a Regular
Every restaurant has that one customer who walks in saying, “I’m just trying it once,” and somehow becomes part of the furniture. We have one such customer at Royal Biryani House, and his love story with our hyderabadi chicken dum biryani started with just one plate. The first time he ordered it, he told us he was “very particular about biryani.” Fair enough. We quietly let the biryani do the talking. Our Hyderabadi biryani starts with good ingredients and a little patience. The chicken is marinated overnight with yogurt, ginger garlic paste, salt, red chili, turmeric and spices. We use aged basmati rice which is soaked and little bit boiled before being layered with the marinated chicken. Now, we add the finishing touches to dum biryani. Chicken and rice are layered in a handi, which is sealed to make the handi cook in its own steam. Everyone’s favorite part is smells coming from the different ingredients used. We bring everything together with milk infused with saffron, fried onions...
