Thalassery Dum Biryani

The information in this post might be outdated

Considered to be a mix of Mughal and Malabar cuisines, Thalassery Dum Biryani is probably the most famous of biryanis in Kerala. What sets it apart from the usual version would be the use of the small-grained, Kaima or Jeerakasala Rice. Cooked in the traditional dum style, the spices and tender chicken pieces lend the dish an inviting aroma. Often served with date pickle and pappadam {pappad}, it won’t take you long to appreciate the rich flavours of this biryani.

Best had at: Hotel Paris, Logans Road, Thalassery
