Chicken Biryani is a traditional Indian dish made by layering flavorful, marinated chicken and parboiled basmati rice, then cooking it slowly (dum cooking) to infuse the rice with aromatic spices, herbs, and tender chicken juices. Originating from royal Mughal cuisine, it has diverse regional versions like Hyderabadi, Kolkata, Lucknowi, and Malabar biryanis, each with unique spice blends and cooking techniques.
