One of the earliest and most enduring versions of the biryani, the Lucknowi-style is a rich dish that is befitting of the royal kitchens it was first developed in. Chunks of meat and rice are first cooked partially before going into a sealed pot to be slow-cooked. The fragrant Lucknowi biryani that is served at Lucknowiz, in Koramangala, remains one of the city’s favourite. Tunday Kababi's Awadhi biryani is as close to enjoying biryani in Lucknow too!
