Kutchi Memon Biryani

A fragrant, layered biryani prepared by the Kutchi Memon community — bone-in mutton or chicken cooked in a spiced masala with yoghurt, and layered with parboiled basmati rice, then sealed and slow-cooked on dum. The Kutchi Memon biryani is noticeably drier than the Hyderabadi style and more aromatic than the Bombay Biryani, distinguished by its prominent use of dried plums (alu bukhara) and fried onions.
