Biryani’s at BKC

Biryani’s at BKC are all served in traditional earthen clay pots or “Handis”.

The epitome of Awadhi cuisine at BKC, our Dum Pukht Biryani offers a culinary journey to the heart of Lucknow. This dish is prepared with a slow-cooking technique perfected in the royal kitchens of Lucknow, where marinated meats are layered with partially cooked rice and sealed in a handi with dough, allowing the flavors to meld together under low heat. The result is a biryani where every grain of rice is infused with aromatic spices and the essence of tender meats, making it a sought-after dish among our Awadhi cuisine dishes.

Sourced locally from a sustainable potter in Hackney Wick BKC focuses on the biryanis prepared with potli spices along with the traditional Dum-Pukht cooking method which involves placing semi cooked ingredients in a traditional “Handi” sealed with dough to trap the flavours. Dum-Pukht food is all about retaining the aromas of the food.

Lucknow cuisine, known for the art of cooking over slow fire and heroes’ these techniques with its biryanis. BKC treats your senses to the aromas transporting you to the streets of Lucknow as they are cooked over a low and gentle flame to lock in both the flavours and moisture.
