The King of Indian Dishes – Aromatic, Spiced & Full of Tradition

​

Biryani is much more than a rice dish – for Sid, it is the king of Indian cuisine. In this cooking class, he’ll show you step by step how to prepare an authentic Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani.

​

What makes Biryani so special is the way it is prepared: aromatic marinated chicken is layered with fragrant basmati rice and then slowly cooked together in a sealed pot. Through this traditional Dum cooking method, the spices, rice and chicken come together to create an incredibly aromatic and flavourful dish.

​

Sid will not only teach you the recipe, but also explain the techniques and little details that really matter when making Biryani – from marinating the chicken and par-cooking the rice to layering everything correctly and mastering the final Dum cooking process.
