Biryani
Biryani is a Indian Muslim hawker dish loved across Singapore. Here is what it is, what to order and where to try it, starting at Tekka Centre, Little India.
What is Biryani?
Long-grain rice and spiced meat are layered and cooked "dum" style, sealed so the flavours steam together. Little India is its home ground. Biryani is part of Singapore's hawker culture, recognised by UNESCO in 2020 as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
