Authentic Biryani and Grilled Mains

My approach to these mains is simple: I cook what I grew up eating. With my Mince Chicken Biryani, I layer spiced chicken mince with fragrant rice and aromatics like mint and cardamom in a sealed pot. This ensures the flavors develop slowly, resulting in fluffy, distinct grains that are full of character. You will also find a hard-boiled egg in the mix, just like the traditional way my family taught me.

When it comes to my Alfaham Chicken, it is all about that balance of smoke and spice. I marinate the chicken legs and thighs to ensure the flavors penetrate deep, then grill them until the skin is perfectly charred but the meat stays juicy. It is a lighter, satisfying option that works as a main or a generous starter.

Everything is made to order in my home kitchen in Bengaluru. Because I do not use preservatives or bulk-cooking shortcuts, you get real food with genuine textures. If you are looking for a meal that feels like it came out of a warm, bustling family kitchen rather than a commercial pantry, this is it.
