Authentic Home-Style Hyderabadi & Andhra Biryanis
I cook my biryanis the traditional way—slow-dum, fresh ingredients, and spices that bring home those authentic Andhra and Hyderabad flavours. Whether you’re craving a classic Chicken Dum or the tangy kick of my Gongura specialty, it’s all made fresh in my kitchen.

About Biryanis: Hyderabadi & Andhra Style
I don’t keep bulk batches ready; every biryani is slow-cooked on 'dum' only after you place your order to ensure the rice stays fluffy and the spices remain fragrant. If you’re planning a weekend meal, it helps to let me know a few hours in advance, especially for larger quantities, so I can give the spices the time they need to truly settle in.
Whether it’s a lazy Sunday lunch or a midweek comfort meal, my kitchen focuses on the basics: quality basmati rice, tender bone-in chicken, and the right balance of masalas.
- Chicken Dum Biryani: The classic. Slow-cooked with ghee, fried onions (beresta), and fresh mint to lock in that distinct aroma.
- Gongura Chicken Biryani: A fan favourite for those who love that signature Andhra tanginess. The gongura (sorrel leaves) paste gives it a unique, sharp flavour profile that cuts through the richness of the meat.
- Nellore Style Biryani: My personal go-to. It’s spicier and bolder, following the authentic coastal style that makes you feel like you’re back in Andhra.
- Veg Dum Biryani: For my vegetarian friends, I use the same dum method with fresh, seasonal vegetables so you don't miss out on the layers of flavour.
Every order includes my house-made Mirchi Ka Salan—a peanut and sesame curry that balances the spice of the biryani—and a fresh onion-cucumber raita. Since I operate a small, home-based kitchen near Alfa Gardens in K.R. Puram, I prepare everything in limited, controlled batches. This is why the meat stays tender and the rice doesn't get mushy. If you prefer your meal without onion and garlic for religious occasions, just mention it when you message me. I’m happy to tweak the recipe to suit your dietary needs.
