What Makes Our Chicken Biryani Special?
At CALI Sg, every dish is designed to deliver a premium dining experience, and our Chicken Biryani is no exception. Here’s what sets it apart:
1. Premium Ingredients for an Authentic Taste
We use only the finest basmati rice, known for its long grains and fragrant aroma. Our chicken is carefully selected for tenderness and marinated with a blend of yogurt, lemon juice, and hand-ground spices, ensuring a deep infusion of flavors. The tikka is grilled to perfection, adding a smoky richness to the dish.
2. Expertly Crafted Spice Blend
The essence of a great Chicken Biryani lies in its spices. At CALI Sg, our chefs have perfected a unique spice blend that includes cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, cumin, and saffron, ensuring every bite is filled with depth and warmth.
3. Slow-Cooked to Perfection
Unlike regular biryanis, our Chicken Biryani undergoes a special cooking process where the grilled chicken tikka is layered with partially cooked rice and then slow-cooked in a sealed pot. This method, known as "Dum" cooking, allows the flavors to infuse deeply, resulting in a biryani that is both flavorful and aromatic.
4. A Perfect Balance of Texture and Flavor
Each bite of our Chicken Biryani offers a perfect balance—tender, smoky chicken nestled within fluffy, saffron-infused basmati rice. The dish is complemented by crispy fried onions, fresh mint leaves, and a side of cooling raita to create a complete and satisfying meal.
5. Served in an Elegant Dining Atmosphere
CALI Sg is known for its sophisticated yet welcoming ambiance, making it an ideal place to enjoy a luxurious meal. Whether you are dining with family, friends, or colleagues, our Chicken Biryani offers a perfect choice for both casual and celebratory dining experiences.
The Story Behind Chicken Biryani
The origins of biryani date back to the Mughal era, where slow-cooked rice dishes were infused with aromatic spices and tender meats. Chicken tikka, on the other hand, is a dish rooted in the rich traditions of North Indian and Punjabi cuisine, where marinated chicken is grilled to perfection.
At CALI Sg, we bring these two legendary dishes together to create an extraordinary fusion—Chicken Biryani. By combining the smoky flavors of chicken tikka with the fragrant, slow-cooked biryani, we have crafted a dish that is both bold and comforting, offering the best of both worlds.
