Our Chicken Biryani is a labour of love, layering long-grain basmati rice with marinated chicken, saffron, caramelized onions, and a fragrant blend of whole spices, then slow-cooked using the traditional dum method to let every grain soak up the aroma. Served with cooling raita and tangy salan, this Indian biryani has become one of the most-ordered dishes at Masala Corner Hamilton - Momo King, right in the heart of Main Street West near McMaster University.
At Masala Corner Hamilton - Momo King, our Chicken Biryani is prepared the traditional way - marinated chicken and basmati rice are layered by hand and slow-cooked together (dum-style) so every grain absorbs the saffron and whole-spice aroma.
We use fresh, quality basmati rice for its long grain and fragrance, paired with our own biryani masala blend. It's become a top request from McMaster students and West Hamilton families looking for an authentic, hearty Indian meal.
What sets our Chicken Biryani apart is the patience behind it - properly dum-cooked rather than simply stir-fried, so the layers of spice, saffron, and caramelized onion develop fully. Every plate is generously portioned and served with fresh raita.
