Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our authentic Mughlai dum biryani, ordering process, royal catering services, hygiene standards, and dietary guidelines.

1. Biryani & Culinary Heritage

Questions regarding our recipes, dum cooking process, and ingredients.

Our Biryani is prepared following centuries-old royal court recipes. We slow-cook (Dum) aged extra-long Basmati rice and marinated meat inside sealed copper pots (Handis) using natural wood-fire coals, allowing deep infusion of ground spices and pure Kashmiri saffron without burning.

Yes, we exclusively use 100% pure cow Desi Ghee in all our signature biryani handis. We strictly avoid artificial flavor enhancers, synthetic fats, or low-grade cooking oils to preserve authentic royal taste and aroma.

We use double-aged extra-long grain Super Kernel Basmati rice. Each batch is aged for over 2 years to ensure the rice grains stay separate, fluffy, non-sticky, and absorb maximum marinade moisture.

Our standard recipe offers a balanced medium-spicy flavor profile rich in aroma rather than harsh chili heat. However, for special party handi orders, custom spice levels (Mild, Medium, Royal Spicy) can be requested during pre-order.

The slow Dum-Pukht process takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes over low coal embers after sealing the handi rim with fresh dough, ensuring meat tenderness and rice steam saturation.
