4KG Hyderabad Spicy Chicken Dum Biriyani Challenge! | Authentic Hyderabad Biriyani in Singapore!

In this video, I went down to Mr Biryani at AXA tower where I was challenged to demolish 4KG of their famous biryani! Mr Biryani is an Indian restaurant that specialises in dishes from the Hyderabad region of India, including its namesake, the quintessential biryani. Ingredients are specially sourced directly from Hyderabad and the chef, Chef Govind, has over 20 years of experience in crafting Indian delicacies.

For this challenge, I was served their renowned Hyderabad Dhum Chicken Biryani, where chicken is marinated in a selection of Indian spices and cooked "dhum" style with aromatic basmati rice. "Dhum" biryani is where the meat and rice are cooked together in a large pot that is sealed with dough and only a small amount of water is added. This infuses the entire dish with the medley of flavours from the meat, spices and rice without overcooking it and results in a truly tantalising flavour profile. A regular biryani would have the rice and meat cooked separately. This biryani also came with a raita, which is a condiment that is made with Indian yoghurt mixed with raw vegetables, and sala, which is a type of Hyderabad curry made with spices, ground chillies and peanuts. While it was a touch too spicy for my already well-known poor spice tolerance, I genuinely enjoyed this biryani greatly.

I also sampled some of their other dishes while I was there. I highly recommend their lamb kofta biryani, which is basically lamb meatballs that came perfectly seasoned and extremely tender, and the lamb shank biryani, which comes with a whole lamb shank that was fall-off-the-bone tender and deliciously marinated.

Do head over to Mr Biryani to get your biryani cravings satiated!
