In traditional “Dum” cooking, the lid is secured to the pan with a dough so that no steam can escape. Hot coal is placed on the lid, and slow cooked with a low flame from below the pan. The soul of Thalassery biriyani lies in the masala. Onions are slow cooked with green chillies, ginger, and garlic. Tomatoes are added to the mix and cooked till they disappear into the mix. Fresh garam masala, turmeric powder and curd is added to it and chicken is slow cooked until soft and juicy. Now we move on to the rice. The dish is traditionally cooked with jeerakashala rice.
