Vegetable Biryani + Chai
About This Dish
At BKC London, our Veg Biryani + Chai Combo brings together two quintessential Indian comforts in one satisfying experience. The Subz Dum Biryani is a celebration of fragrant Basmati rice and fresh, locally sourced vegetables, slow-cooked with saffron, rose water, and Kewra to create layers of delicate, aromatic flavour. The marinated vegetables meld perfectly with the spiced rice, ensuring each bite is a harmonious balance of texture, colour, and taste-light, elegant, and deeply satisfying, even for those accustomed to meat-based biryanis.
Complementing the biryani is our Karak Chai, a rich, spiced Indian tea brewed strong with black tea leaves and simmered with full-fat milk, sugar, and warming spices like cardamom and cinnamon. Its creamy, indulgent flavour enhances the biryani’s fragrant layers, creating a comforting duo that captures the essence of Indian culinary tradition in a single, delightful meal.
History & Tradition
BKC’s Vegetarian Subz Dum Biryani is rooted in the rich culinary heritage of Awadh, where royal kitchens perfected the art of slow-cooked, fragrant biryanis. Traditionally, seasonal vegetables were layered with delicately spiced rice and sealed to cook “dum” style, allowing flavors to mingle and intensify over gentle heat. Paired with a richly spiced Karak Chai, this combination reflects a time-honored tradition of balance and indulgence—where every bite and sip carries the warmth, aroma, and care that have defined vegetarian classics in North Indian cuisine for generations.
