It’s common for both variations with minor variations to be described as Malabar biryani or perhaps Kozhikode biryani. Both variations utilize Kaima rice however the cooking style in Thalassery is a little different. The rice (is light fried) and the meat are prepared separately and after that assembled together to cook in a dum design (similar to the more spicy Ambur biryani). The Kozhikodan biryani is likewise a dum biryani, but the rice is not fried. Both versions are prepared with ghee in most Malabar households.Appearances can definitely be misleading, the Kozhikodan biryani’s mix of spices is subtle and the biryani gets its colour almost exclusively from the fried onions. Abida tells me how the onions are fried even longer for the chicken biryani to provide a mild brown shade. While mutton biryani may be the very first choice for unique celebrations, the Malabar biryanis are best known for their capability to take in whatever from chicken (using spring chicken is special here) to prawn and seer fish.From huge Sunday meals at home to weddings, the Kozhikodan biryani is almost an important part of celebrations and special events in the city, and similar to biryanis around the South of India, the big scale wedding biryanis cooked on wood fires always taste finest. It prevails for wedding cooks to add coconut shells to these fires that have an unavoidable impact on the flavours.
