About Our Malabar Chicken Dum Biryani

Malabar Chicken Dum Biryani is the crown jewel of Kerala cuisine and the most-loved dish at Malabar Kitchen. Marinated chicken is slow-cooked with caramelised onions, mint, and a blend of whole spices, then layered with short-grain Kaima or basmati rice and finished using the traditional dum technique — sealed and steamed so the flavours meld into every grain.

Why Peterborough Loves Our Malabar Biryani

Unlike heavier North Indian biryanis, our Malabar-style biryani is light, fragrant, and layered with coastal Kerala character. Served with raita and a tangy pickle, it is the perfect centrepiece for family dinners, celebrations, or a satisfying meal any day of the week.
