The slim long cooked basmati rice flavored with turmeric and saffron when mystically layered with slow cooked spiced mutton or chicken thickened with melting clarified butter, sweet white coconut milk, sautéed cinnamon-cloves with a treasured mystic mix of saffron, salt, coriander, aroma filling mint, fried paste of ginger, garlic and ground green chillies under indirect heat(Dum)...heaven. This is the amazing Biryani of Hyderabad.
The balance of the preparation gives the characteristic taste of the biryani. Hot and spicy, sweet and caramel onionized, melting moments with butter, aromatically minty, tasteful of smooth slow cooked hot chicken or mutton... the mouth watering list is endless.
Some unusual preparations give rise to magical flavors, like the biryani cooked in the earthen pot add a distinct enigmatic flavor of potter clay along with the myriad of flavors your taste buds can experience one the scoops of rice and mutton or chicken.
The biryani when sided with some of the curried chicken gravy and the raitha(thick yoghurt mixed with onions, tomatoes and green chillies) or even the curried eggplant gravy can spark the characteristic taste explosion.
Even the vegetarian Dum Biryani of Hyderabad gives you all the taste and no words to speak of
Royalty at its height, the first spoon of the sizzling hot flavored rice and the soft mutton or chicken, overwhelms our taste buds so much that words are never enough to describe the implosion of reactions. One would experience what a heavenly mix of ingredients can do when melted and juiced in our mouth and eventually lands on our waiting buds....... I leave the rest to your minds and your watering mouth.
Soulful Taste. Enjoy the happiness of the content soul.....
