How to cook

Plating & presentation

Bring the sealed pot to the table and open it there — the aroma is part of the experience. Serve onto plates and top with crispy onions, fresh mint, and coriander. Raita on the side.

Dana's tip

The dum (sealed slow cooking) step is what makes biryani special. The steam trapped inside finishes cooking the rice and melds all the flavours together. Don't lift the lid early.
