✦From our kitchen✦
The Hyderabadi Dum Biryani — sealed, slow-cooked, and made for Hoppers Crossing.
Layered 7 times
Each biryani is built in seven distinct layers — rice, meat, masala, saffron — before the seal goes on and the pot enters the oven.
20 minutes
Saffron is steeped in warm milk for twenty minutes before it touches the rice. That patience is what you taste.
