To find out what kind of food 'Biryani' is, I tried chicken biryani with lots of chicken at the Pakistani restaurant 'Nawab Biryani House'



' Biryani ' is a rice dish commonly eaten in India and Pakistan. Biryani comes in a wide range of varieties, including those made with meat and those made with fish. I thought, ``I want to try authentic biryani,'' and as I was doing some research, I found out that you can eat delicious biryani made with chicken at Nawab Biryani House in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, so I went there. I tried it.

Nawab Biryani House is located right next to Tokyo Metro Kayabacho Station.


The exterior of Nawab Biryani House looks like this.



The lunch menu is posted next to the entrance.



This time I ordered a set of chicken biryani (1200 yen including tax) and mini curry (300 yen including tax). The rice used is

basmati rice , not Japanese rice.



You can choose from eight types of curry: ``daily change,'' ``bean,'' ``chicken,'' ``spinach and mushroom,'' ``minced chicken,'' ``butter chicken,'' ``lamb,'' and ``coconut milk seafood.'' I thought, ``The fact that ``beans'' are placed before ``chicken'' means I'm pretty confident,'' so I chose ``beans'' this time.



Biryani and bean curry were served within minutes of ordering. The white liquid shown in the lower left is a sauce called raita, which is a combination of dairy products, vegetables, and spices.



If you look at the biryani closely, you can see that there is a lot of chicken hidden in the rice.



When you eat it, the rice has a sweet and salty seasoning, and you can feel the strong sweetness and the clear spiciness. The chicken was quite large, and the moment you put it in your mouth, it fell apart and became one with the rice, and the sweet and salty rice and the umami of the chicken combined, making it very good. The seasoning of the rice is quite strong, so you can easily eat the parts without chicken.



As mentioned above, the seasoning of the rice is quite strong, so as I continue to eat it, I feel like I'm going to get heartburn. In such cases, I recommend mixing raita with biryani. Raita has a very refreshing flavor, so eating it at the same time as biryani will give you a different taste and refresh your mouth.



It is also ant to eat the accompanying salad with rice. It adds a crunchy feel.



This is what the bean curry looks like.



There is no spiciness at all and the finish is sweet. The beans are simmered to be soft, and the taste is soothing, in contrast to biryani, which stimulates the tongue with its strong flavor.



Biryani goes well with bean curry, and the sweetness and spiciness of biryani matches the umami and sweetness of the beans. Nawab Biryani House's chicken biryani is a high-quality dish that you can not only enjoy on its own, but also enjoy changing the taste by mixing it with other dishes.
