Thalassery Biryani, originating from Kerala's Malabar region, is a fragrant and flavorful rice dish layered with spiced meat (bone-in chicken, boneless chicken, fish, goat, lamb, shrimp, vegetable ) and aromatic Seeraga Samba rice. It's distinguished by its rich blend of spices, including cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, and fennel seeds, along with fried onions and fresh herbs. This biryani is cooked using a layered method, allowing the flavors to meld together perfectly. Garnished with fried onions, cashews, and raisins, it's served with raita and pickle, offering a delightful balance of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors.
