Hyderabadi chicken biryani is a celebrated Indian rice dish known for its intense aroma and depth of flavor. It is prepared by layering marinated chicken with long-grain basmati rice and slow-cooking the dish in a sealed pot using the traditional *dum pukht* technique. With its roots in the royal kitchens of the Nizams of Hyderabad, this iconic biryani reflects a rich fusion of Mughlai richness and South Indian spice traditions.
