Thuppangadi Biriyani

The Story Behind My Biriyani

This isn’t just biriyani – it’s a slice of my family’s history. I use recipes passed down from my grandfather, a freedom fighter, cooked the same way they did back in the 1890s. Every spoonful brings back memories of the old Karavali (coastal Karnataka) and the spirit of a place called Thuppangadi, now lost to time.

What Makes Thuppangadi Biriyani Special

Our biriyani is like a traditional ghee pulav, but with a twist. It’s not your regular Donne Biriyani – here, coastal Karnataka biriyani comes alive with:

• Sharp aroma from our local, hand-sourced thuppa (ghee)
• Strong hit of pepper and green chilies
• Special Kundapur spice mix that’s bold but balanced

Some folks say the pepper and green chili biriyani packs a punch, and it’s true – it’s spicy, hearty, and rich.

Real Ingredients, No Shortcuts

I travel myself to get authentic ghee from the coast. All spices are local, and the biriyani is cooked fresh for every order.

Choices & Sides

Pick chicken or egg. Both come with salan, raita, and salad. Everything’s packed carefully for takeaway or delivery, plus I drop a little handwritten note with each meal – it’s my way of saying thanks for sharing in the legacy.
