## What is Dum Handi Biryani?

Biryani is prepared in an earthen pot called Handi, the rice and meat are layered, bottom and top layer are always rice. An interlayer of some condiments is introduced between the meat and the rice.

Hyderabadi Biryani is the kachay gosht ki Biryani or the Dum Biryani, where the meat is marinated and cooked along with the rice. It is left on slow fire or dum for a fragrant and aromatic flavor.
