Shrimp cooks much faster than heavy meats like lamb or beef, which means it requires a highly precise “Dum” steaming process. Our chefs ensure the shrimp remains plump, juicy, and never overcooked, while the basmati rice still deeply absorbs the exotic aromatics of saffron, star anise, and whole cardamom. It is a lighter, yet incredibly flavorful, take on authentic shrimp biryani in Oakland.
The shrimp are first lightly tossed in a spiced masala gravy to lock in flavor. We then layer the seafood with par-cooked basmati rice in a heavy vessel. Sealed tight, the dish is briefly slow-cooked just long enough for the steam to marry the seafood broth with the saffron-infused rice.
