Chicken Biryani is the crown jewel of Pakistani and North Indian cuisine, and at Twist of TAJ, we prepare it with authentic recipes passed down through generations. This aromatic rice dish features long-grain basmati rice layered with tender, marinated chicken pieces, saffron-infused milk, caramelized onions, and a blend of hand-ground spices including cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and cumin.
What makes our Chicken Biryani special is the traditional dum cooking method, where the pot is sealed with dough to trap all the flavors and aromas inside. The chicken becomes incredibly tender, releasing its juices into the rice, while the saffron imparts a beautiful golden color and subtle floral notes. Each bite delivers a perfect harmony of spices, tender chicken, and fragrant rice. Served with raita (yogurt sauce) and salan (gravy), our Chicken Biryani is a complete meal that will transport you to the streets of Lahore and Karachi. Perfect for family dinners, special occasions, or whenever you're craving authentic Pakistani comfort food in Calgary.
