History

Veg Dum Biryani is a vegetarian adaptation of the traditional biryani, which originated in Persia and was brought to India by the Mughals.

Originally, biryani was a royal dish prepared with meat and rice, but as it spread across different regions of India, vegetarian versions like Veg Dum Biryani emerged, especially in South India, where vegetarian cuisine is prominent.

The dum cooking method, in which the biryani is slow-cooked by sealing the pot, ensures that all the flavors meld beautifully.

Today, Veg Dum Biryani is loved across the world as a delicious, aromatic, and fulfilling vegetarian dish.
