Why Dum Biryani Deserves a Place on Every Food Lover’s Bucket List?

If you also love tasty food that smells delicious and makes you happy and full, then you should definitely try dum biryani. It is not just an ordinary biryani; it is a special kind of biryani where rice, meat, and spices are cooked together slowly in a sealed pot so all the flavours mix perfectly. It is the kind of food that will not only make your stomach full but also truly satisfy your soul. 

At Aloha Biryani, we make dum biryani the traditional way, just like people have been doing for many years. It is a very special recipe that has been passed down in our family for years. We learned this recipe step by step, carefully, cooked it for family meals, and served it during special occasions. 

Our dum biryani is not just food but part of our family’s story, so if you haven’t had it yet, here’s why it should be on your list of foods to try.

What Is Dum Biryani? 

Dum biryani was the perfect and the best choice because it is the meal that brings people closer, makes you smile after you take the first bite of it, and makes you want to eat this again and again. 

We start to make our special dum biryani with simple ingredients, but treat them with extra passion. To make this, we use good-quality basmati rice, soft, juicy and fresh pieces of meat (like chicken, mutton, lamb) or vegetables, and refreshed spices that we grind by hand. We use handmade spices that are ground by ourselves, which is why they make our biryani more tasty and satisfying. 

Then, we soak the meat in spices overnight so it becomes full of flavour. After that, we put all the things into a big pot, meat at the bottom, rice on top, along with saffron and crispy fried onions. Cover the pot tightly so it cooks slowly in its own steam. That’s the traditional way, and we follow it every time to make this special dish, which is amazing and feels like home after each bite. 

We don’t like to use shortcuts; instead, we give the full time it needs to cook in the right way with quality ingredients. That’s why it smells amazing and tastes even better. Every bite is soft, spicy, and full of amazing taste!.

A Dish with a Long Story!

Dum biryani has been around for a very long time. The first time it was made in the royal kitchens of India and was usually cooked for special occasions like weddings, family get-togethers, and big celebrations. As time passed, different parts of India started making their own style, like Hyderabadi, Lucknowi, and Kolkata dum biryani.

However, everyone’s type is different from each other; still, they use the same main idea: slow cooking, rich flavours, and a lot of love. 

At Aloha Biryani, we follow the same traditional way; we don’t take any shortcuts to make any dish, especially biryani. Our professional chef starts to make our special dum biryani with simple ingredients, using good-quality basmati rice, soft, juicy and fresh pieces of meat, and refreshed spices that we grind by hand. It takes time, but it’s always worth it.
