The Fusion You Didn’t Know You Needed
Biryani is all about balance. Chicken tikka is all about boldness. Together, they create a fusion dish that’s layered, smoky, spicy, and unforgettable. The tandoori char on the tikka gives the dish a unique aroma and a punch of flavour that traditional biryani can’t match.
This version is perfect for diners who love the richness of biryani but crave the fire and depth of grilled meat.
What Sets It Apart from Classic Biryani
While traditional Chicken Biryani uses raw or marinated chicken cooked along with the rice, Chicken Tikka Biryani uses pre-grilled tikka pieces. These chunks of boneless chicken are marinated in yoghurt, red chili, and spices, then cooked in a tandoor until slightly crisp.
The pre-cooked tikka is then layered with half-cooked saffron rice and given a gentle Dum finish, locking in the smokiness without drying out the meat.
The result? A biryani that feels light yet bold, familiar yet exciting.
The Tunday Biryani Method
At Tunday Kababi Dubai, we:
- Marinate chicken tikka overnight for full flavour
- Use long-grain basmati rice parboiled with whole spices
- Finish in copper pots using Dum-style cooking
- Garnish with fried onions, mint, and saffron-infused ghee
Every element is handled with care, ensuring the integrity of both the tikka and the rice is preserved.
Ideal Pairings for Maximum Enjoyment
Chicken Tikka Biryani is best enjoyed with:
- Mint chutney for freshness
- Boondi Raita to cool the palate
- Pickled onions or salad for acidity
- Soft drink or Sweet Lassi to balance the spice
It also pairs well with Butter Naan if you’re going all in.
