Chettinad Chicken Biryani

Biryani made with the prized seeraga samba rice — a tiny, intensely aromatic short-grain variety grown in Tamil Nadu, cooked on dum with chicken marinated in Chettinad spices, shallots, and coriander. The seeraga samba's natural fragrance is deeper than basmati, making this biryani unmistakably regional.
