Chicken Dum Biryani

CHICKEN DUM BIRYANI
⠀
Did you know the month of September is National Rice Month? Rice is a Bengali staple dish in every home, and we eat it every day; I got excited when I found out there’s a whole month dedicated to rice.
⠀
My family switched over from plain white rice to parboiled rice; on occasions or weekends, I like to make a basmati rice dish and sometimes make sweet rice (zarda). It's one of the most versatile grains; its unique flavor complements almost every food imaginable, from savory to sweet.

Here is a CHICKEN DUM BIRYANI, ”dum” means to trap the steam, so the rice and chicken cooks in it's own flavors. The aroma filled the whole house, and in ”desi” culture, a Biryani is considered comfort food. I served it with chicken shami kebabs. @thefeedfeed @think_rice #ThinkRice #feedfeed #contest
