Biryani is the crown jewel of Pakistani cuisine, a dish that tells the story of Mughal
emperors and centuries of culinary tradition. Originally brought to the subcontinent by
Persian travelers, biryani evolved into the aromatic masterpiece we know today through
generations of skilled cooks in Lahore, Karachi, and Hyderabad.
At Chillies, we honor this heritage by preparing our Chicken Biryani using time-tested
techniques. Premium chicken pieces are marinated in yogurt and a blend of over 15 spices,
then layered with aged basmati rice that's been partially cooked with whole spices.
The pot is sealed and slow-cooked over low heat, allowing the flavors to meld perfectly.
The Art of Dum Biryani
Our biryani is prepared using the authentic "dum" method, where the pot is sealed with
dough and cooked on low heat. This technique traps the steam inside, infusing every grain
of rice with the rich flavors of the spiced chicken. The result is perfectly cooked rice
with each grain separate yet bursting with flavor.
Served With
Our Chicken Biryani comes with cooling raita (yogurt sauce) and a side of spicy mirchi
salan (green chili curry). For the complete experience, add our signature house salad
and enjoy a feast fit for royalty.
