How is Handi Biryani so delicious?

Indian traditional cuisine, Handi Biryani unites beautifully cooked fruity spices and aromatic aromas, which are slow-cooked inside clay or metal handi cooking pots. When set on dum (slow flame), the traditional ‘Handi’ cooking vessel maintains ingredient essences throughout the cooking process.

Key Features:

●      The cooking technique arranges meat or vegetables side-by-side with rice, fried onions, and selected herbs for layering.

●      For Handi Biryani, the handi is prepared by sealing it with dough to hold it in steam, which enhances both flavour and tenderness.

●      Clay pots enhance the dish with both earthy aromas and a smoky essence when used for cooking.

Benefits of Cooking in a Handi:

●      Using the low cooking method provides both meat tenderness and complex taste development.

●      The handi cooking method maintains nutrients by trapping moisture within the container.

●      It has an Authentic Taste. Perfect for festive meals or traditional family dinners.

Serving Tips:

●      Garnish with saffron, mint, and fried onions.

●      Prepare the dish by serving it with a raita salad alongside a boiled egg on the side.

●      The handi dish reaches its peak when you consume it hot and newly prepared from the container itself.
