Lamb Biryani at Hot Million Indian Cuisine in Calgary - Aromatic rice with tender lamb

About Our Lamb Biryani

Our Lamb Biryani is a testament to the rich culinary heritage of Indian cuisine. We start with premium cuts of lamb, marinated overnight in yogurt, ginger, garlic, and aromatic spices. The meat is then slow-cooked until fork-tender, developing deep, complex flavors.

The rice is prepared separately with whole spices – bay leaves, cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves – then layered with the lamb using the traditional dum cooking method. This slow-cooking technique allows the flavors to meld together, creating the signature taste that has made biryani a celebrated dish worldwide.

The Dum Cooking Tradition

At Hot Million, we honor the authentic dum pukht method where the biryani is sealed and slow-cooked over low heat. This allows the steam to circulate within the pot, infusing every grain of rice with the rich lamb juices and aromatic spices. The result is a perfectly layered dish where each component shines.
