If chicken is your favorite meat, there are plenty of delectable options for you to indulge in. Here are our top 5 desi chicken dishes from Usmania Dallas, one of the best desi restaurants in Dallas.
Matka Chicken Biryani
Matka Biryani, also known as one-pot biryani, is a popular dish in Indian and Pakistani cuisine. This recipe is a new and well-known creation. Matka chicken biryani is not something to be taken lightly. We prepare it with Indian spices, rice, and meat.
Matka Chicken Biryani is a savory chicken and rice dish that consists of steamed layers of chicken, rice, and aromatics. As we cook it, the bottom layer of rice absorbs all the chicken juices, giving it a delicate texture and rich flavor, while the top layer of rice stays white and fluffy. It’s a different experience when we make it in a clay pot. The flavor of clay takes the meal to a whole new level, making it feel like a traditional Biryani. The one-pot theory explains itself. This is a must-try dish when visiting Usmania Dallas.
