With roots in the royal kitchens of the Nizams of Hyderabad, the Nawab’s biryani tells a story of elegance, indulgence, and heritage. But do you know what makes our biryani truly royal? This guide will help you step into the world of Nawabi cuisine and explore the timeless secrets behind this classic dish.
Top Reasons That Make Nawab’s Biryani Special
1. Heritage Rooted in Mughlai Royalty
Nawab’s Hyderabadi Dum Biryani represents the legendary royal kitchens of the Nizams of Hyderabad. The slow cooking technique used in the preparation method and the bold spice profile make our biryani true masterpieces. We use the authentic dum-style method and slowly cook every grain of rice and meat in a sealed vessel. Our biryani celebrates the rich tapestry of royal influence.
2. Use of Premium Ingredients
When it comes to the Nawab’s biryani, no detail is spared. We are dedicated to providing uncompromising quality and taste to our customers. Here are the ingredients that are fit for royalty:
- Aged basmati rice: Long-grain basmati rice with a distinct aroma is used in our biryani. This helps to achieve the right fragrance and texture.
- Tender cut of meat: At Nawab’s, we use only the best halal-friendly cuts of chicken or mutton and marinate them for hours to provide you with tender and flavorful meat.
- Ghee: Instead of using regular cooking oil, Nawab’s chefs use pure ghee to provide a buttery and rich flavor and improve the fragrance of the dish.
- Saffron: The best part of Nawab’s biryani is the precious use of spices like saffron threads that are soaked in warm milk to add a golden hue as well as a luxurious aroma.
- Whole Spices and Herbs: Herbs and ground spices such as star anise, mace, and nutmeg, and fresh herbs like coriander and mint are used to bring layers of complexity to Hyderabadi biryani at Nawab’s.
- Yogurt and Barista: Fried onions or baristas and yogurt balance the spices of Hyderabadi Biryani and provide a subtle taste.
3. Essence of Nawabi Spices
One of the best and defining features of Hyderabad Biryani at Nawab’s is the lavish use of royal saffron infused in fat or milk to bring a golden hue to the biryani and give it a touch of aromatic luxury.
Saffron adds regal indulgence to every spoon of Hyderabadi Biryani. Nawabi spices like kewra, rosewater, ghee, bay leaves, star anise, nutmeg, and mace are added that bring a special touch. Cooked in perfect Nawabi style, our Hyderabadi Biryani has a perfectly balanced and not overpowering spice profile.
4. Authentic Dum Pukht Method
Nawab’s Hyderabadi Briyani is prepared using the authentic Dum Pukht method, where every ingredient is slowly cooked in a sealed pot or vessel so that the juices, flavors, and aromas melt beautifully over awards. This slow-style cooking method makes sure the meat remains succulent and juicy, whereas the rice absorbs the aromatic essence. This is what makes Nawab’s biryani truly royal.
5. The Ritual of Layering and Sealing The Pot
Chefs at Nawab’s engage in meticulous craftsmanship. We add a layer of fragrant basmati rice, a layer of perfectly marinated meat (either chicken or mutton), a sprinkle of fried onions, saffron milk, coriander, and slivered mint between the layers, and we repeat the process. The final lid is sealed with a tough crust, and as steam starts building, the flavor infuses beautifully. The sealed honey is set to rest for 20 to 30 minutes so that the flavors can settle.
6. Radiant Varieties
We not only serve authentic Hyderabadi Dum Biryani but also Arabian mandis, Arabian Kasbas, Chicken 65, and vegetarian options to cater to food enthusiasts of different tastes. Our signature crown jewel– Hyderabadi Dum Biryani, is layered with tender meat, fried onions, saffron milk, and coriander that provide a rich taste and flavor.
