Dam Pukht Chicken Biryani

Dam Pukht Chicken Biryani is one of the most celebrated dishes that originated in Iran (formerly Persia) but later developed immense popularity in South-East Asia such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc thanks to the Iranian travelers. There are several adaptations of Biryani depending on local palate and taste. In India, Hyderbadi Biryani stands on the forefront of Indian cuisine and is extremely popular so is Awadhi (Lucknow) Biryani.
In places such as Pune, the Sindhi and Dam Pukht Biryani(Iranian) has a pervading presence and is one of the most sought after dishes. Being in Pune for 6 years was the best of my life because I tried several Iranian hangouts in the Camp and Deccan area that served the best Dam Pukht Biryani you will ever find. Now thousand miles apart and nothing authentic in sight here in US, it made us extremely motivated to master this dish ourselves and enjoy whenever those Pune memories come to haunt us. I have included pictures of Dam Pukht Biryani from our recent preparation from YummyIndiaLounge Kitchen.
