The dum cooking technique is an ancient method that originated in the royal kitchens of Hyderabad. Here's what makes it unique:
Meat is marinated for 4-6 hours in yogurt, authentic Hyderabadi spices, fresh herbs, and aromatic ingredients.
Marinated meat and partially cooked basmati rice are layered with fried onions, saffron, and fresh mint.
The pot is sealed and cooked on low heat for 45-60 minutes, allowing flavors to blend perfectly through steam cooking.
The result? Tender meat, perfectly cooked rice, and layers of incredible flavor in every bite.
