century. We know the history little better during 1800 to 1900. During Mughal empire, Lucknow in the North was known as
Awadh, giving rise to Awadhi Biryani. In 1856, British deposed the Nawab or King of Lucknow in Calcutta giving rise to another version of Biryani called Calcutta Biryani with slightly different ingredients and spices. Needless to say it was a royal dish for the kings and Nawabs of that era. The secret of preparing this dish is in the technique called “dum” of cooked for long under pressure on low heat. We have adapted the cooking method of Lucknow style with the spice combination of Hyderabad in the South and the final finishing method of Delhi’s Mughals. The basmati rice is half boiled using whole spices and kept aside. The base is prepared with vine-ripened tomatoes, red onions, ginger, garlic, homemade yogurt, black peppers, raisins, saffron, cardamoms, cinnamon, cloves, bay leaves, chopped mint and the essence of screw-pine flower called Kewara and a special blend of about 24 different roasted and ground spices. The chicken (or other meats/seafood) chunks are added to this base until tender and then the
half boiled basmati rice are added to it. The cooking vessel is sealed with a heavy lid to provide ‘dum’ on a low heat to let
cook under its own steam.$15.9515.95 USD
