Our Chicken Biryani begins with premium aged basmati rice, known for its long grains and natural aroma. The chicken is marinated in yogurt and spices for 4+ hours, then partially cooked before layering. We use traditional whole spices like bay leaves, cardamom, cinnamon, and star anise, plus saffron soaked in warm milk for that golden color and royal aroma. The layers are sealed and slow-cooked using the dum method, allowing every grain to absorb the rich flavors.
At Lazeez, our Chicken Biryani is prepared using the traditional Hyderabadi dum method, where marinated chicken and partially cooked rice are layered in a heavy-bottomed pot. The pot is sealed with dough and slow-cooked for 45 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld perfectly. Fresh mint, cilantro, and golden fried onions are layered throughout, while saffron gives each grain its distinctive aroma and color. This time-honored technique creates Calgary's most authentic biryani experience.
