✦From our kitchen✦
The Hyderabadi Dum Biryani — Nizami tradition in the heart of Melbourne CBD.
Layered 7 times
Each biryani is built in seven distinct layers — rice, meat, masala, herbs — before the dough seal locks in the flavour.
20 minutes
Saffron is steeped in warm milk for twenty minutes before it touches the rice. Patience is the recipe.
