Dindigul Thalappakatti Biryani Recipe

Dindigul Thalappakatti Biryani

Biryani takes in our sunday lunch menu often. And i try so many different variation in biryani, i don’t make biryani the way twice. Couple weeks back when i looked over the internet for chicken biryani recipe. I found this thalappalatti biryani recipe. This biryani is so famous in that place, i have heard about it but never tasted it. So i thought to give it a try.

This biryani is so easy to make. I made it in pressure cooker which made it even more easier. The main flavouring for this biryani comes from the masala which we make.  It is a homemade spice mix which smell so heavenly.

Once 15 mins is over, switch off the flame and let the steam escape all by itself. Once the pressure is released. Open the cooker and fluff the rice with a fork.

Update: I got many mails from my viewers telling that, this biryani is not made with Basmati Rice, instead they use Jeera Chamba Rice. So if you can find that rice use it for traditional thalapakatti biryani.
