The Indian cuisine is just as diverse as its topography and culture. It boasts of innumerable flavourful and mouth-watering dishes from different regions. But none is more popular and better than biryani. Every state has its unique signature biryani that has a peculiar taste.

The difference in taste can be attributed to the use of distinct species and cooking techniques. Originally a Mughlai dish, over the years, biryani has evolved significantly, and the taste differs based on the type of biryani you are having.

If you love to have a biryani that is low on the spicy front yet is rich and wholesome, you may love having the Lucknowi or Awadhi Biryani. But, if you like your biryani to be spicy and don't mind shedding a few tears of joy, you would enjoy eating the Hyderabadi or the Kutchi biryani.

What is Dindigul biryani?

Originating from a small town called Dindigul in Tamil Nadu, the Dindigul biryani offers a unique and highly enriching biryani-tasting experience. It is the locals' favourite and whether you like biryani or not, you ought to try it. You can order it from your favourite biryani destination, Ekdum, and enjoy the South Indian delicacy.

The Dindigul biryani stands out from its competitors as it satisfies all your five senses with every morsel. Whether you are trying it for the first time or the 100th, you will surely be left feeling happy and blessed at the end of the meal.

Like any other biryani, you can have chicken, mutton, or vegetarian Dindigul biryani. The recipe may vary slightly, but all of them are a melange of delectable spices like cloves, black better, star anise, cardamom, cinnamon, mace powder, etc. These spices give the biryani a rich aroma and add a depth of flavour. If you are having the mutton or the chicken biryani, you will instantly notice that the meat is juicy, soft, and succulent, resulting from its marination during the pre-cook stage.

The marinade is made of thick yoghurt, lemon juice, and a generous amount of pepper. The meat is usually marinated for about 2-3 hours before cooking with the rice. The spices add a bit of punchy flavour that could make you feel like you are in food heaven with every mouthful.

Dindigul biryani is best enjoyed with the sides of raita or salan. And you can enjoy a wholesome meal by ordering it from Ekdum and get the sides with every order.
