Experience the smoky, deep flavour of traditional biryani cooked in large deghs over real firewood. I bring the taste of authentic, slow-cooked tradition to your weddings and parties across Bengaluru.

Cooking over an open fire is more than just a method, it's a feeling. It's about connecting with generations of culinary tradition to create the perfect firewood biryani.

From preparing the fresh masalas to the final dum process over firewood, every step is a journey towards perfection. This is a behind the scenes look at how I ensure client satisfaction at every event.

The heart of my kitchen is the constant flame. Here you can see multiple deghs of our Shaadi Ki Biryani simmering over firewood, getting ready for a grand event.

This is how I prepare my authentic Chennai-style firewood biryani. The process involves carefully layering the meat and rice, all cooked slowly over wood to achieve that distinct, smoky flavour.

From our large-scale firewood kitchen to the guest's plate, this is the journey of our biryani. We manage everything to ensure the food served is hot, fresh, and plentiful.

The flame is key. This is a glimpse of the intense heat and fire that goes into cooking our signature dishes, creating a taste that is bold and unforgettable.

It all starts with empty deghs and ends with a feast for hundreds. This video shows the entire process, from setting up the pots to cooking over firewood and serving happy guests.

About this collection

Cooking over firewood is not just a method for me, it is about controlling the heat. I use the natural embers of the wood to give the biryani that specific smoky aroma and distinct texture that a gas stove simply cannot replicate. Whether you are ordering a bucket for a weekend family gathering or planning for a large wedding, I personally monitor the dum process for every batch to ensure the spice levels and tenderness are spot on.

When you choose firewood-cooked biryani, you are choosing a process that prioritizes flavour over speed. We start by preparing fresh masalas and sourcing quality cuts of meat, which are then layered with basmati rice in heavy deghs. By placing coals on the lid, we create a convection effect that steams the ingredients evenly from both top and bottom.

Why Firewood Matters

It creates a subtle, earthy smokiness that defines our signature style. It is the same technique I have used since starting in 2005, and it remains the cornerstone of what we do at SK Caterers. We handle everything from bulk event requirements across Bengaluru deliveries to on-site event setups.

Our Menu Highlights

  • Signature Woodfire Chicken Biryani: A full unit serves 5-6 people, accompanied by traditional brinjal curry (Khatta Baingan) or Dalcha, raita, and dessert.
  • Premium Mutton Biryani: Prepared with premium, slow-cooked cuts to ensure the meat is tender enough to fall off the bone.
  • Bulk Party Starters: We do chicken kababs, 65, and fish fry by the kilogram if you need appetizers to go alongside your main course.

We deliver these bulk orders across Bengaluru from our base on Thanisandra Main Road. If you are planning an event, feel free to reach out to discuss your guest count and menu preferences. We can customize the spice levels and portions to make sure your guests leave satisfied.
