Hyderabadi Biryani

Hyderabadi Biryani is often considered the most revered biryani of the hundreds of types.  This was once protected along with other recipes in the kitchens of the Nizams to the point where daughters who were to be married off to other noble households could not enter the kitchen for risk of learning or taking a part of the recipe with them.  For myself, the appeal of the biryani is the simplicity of it, the texture of the rice and the tenderness of the meat make this dish savory and worthy of serving to royalty.
