It creates a deep, smoky flavor that you just cannot get from modern ovens. ## Photos and videos - [Video: This video shows our char-cooked chicken gravy simmering and our signature mutton biryani being put on 'dum'.

I do not use reheating tricks or frozen meat. Your biryani comes straight from the heavy copper deghs where the meat, spices, and premium basmati rice have been slow-cooking over a bed of live coals for hours. It is an intense, smoky flavor that hits differently because it is prepared in bulk just for your event, ensuring every portion stays moist, aromatic, and perfectly spiced until the moment it reaches your table. ### Traditional Cooking, Real Flavor I believe that shortcuts in the kitchen lead to shortcuts in taste. That is why I stick to the traditional dum method. Each batch starts with a rich yaqni, a meat stock slow-simmered for hours with whole spices. When we layer the rice and seal the degh, the steam trapped inside does the heavy lifting, infusing every grain with the aroma of the meat and spices. Whether you choose my Mutton Dum Biryani or the Chicken variety, you are getting a meal prepared in the same way I would make it for my own family gatherings. ### What Comes With Your Order I want to make sure your party is sorted, so every bulk biryani order comes with the essentials. You get a generous serving of onion raita to cool the palate, a 500ml portion of your choice between tangy khatta or dalcha gravy, and a sweet dish like Dal ka Mitha or Muzaffar to finish the meal. ### Serving Your Event - **Bulk Logistics:** I handle delivery across Bengaluru from my kitchen in Benson Town. Because everything is prepared fresh and not pre-made, I need advance notice for all orders. - **Customization:** While I specialize in the classic firewood dum style, I can adjust the spice levels and menu combinations to suit your crowd. Whether it is a corporate lunch, a wedding feast, or a festival celebration like Eid, I ensure the food arrives hot and ready to serve. - **Setup:** I provide the food in high-quality bulk containers, allowing you full control over how you want to present the buffet at your venue. ## About City Caterers My name is Baseer Ahmed, and for me, cooking is about bringing people together over a meal that feels like home.
