Confused over the three...?
Biryani is fragrant rice served with meat or fish or vegetables that are cooked separately; Hyderabad biryani combines the two in the same pot. Beriyani Gam is similar to Hyderabad's but the pre-cooked meat dishes are only added in the final few minutes of the steaming.
Protein or vegetables are cut into large pieces and sauteed with spices in a large, heavy pan with lots of fat, usually ghee (that must be why it tastes so good!). Parboiled rice is spooned over protein or veggies and left, once the pot is covered (traditionally, lid was sealed to pot with a strip of dough), to steam in the aromatic vapors that rise from the other ingredients as they are cooked slowly over a low heat.
Biryani Gam can be eaten with any dishes of your liking. Let it be chicken, or lamb, or beef, we assure that you will be thrilled with our cooking style. |
