Did you know? This Hyderabadi royal dish is slow-cooked in sealed pots ("dum"). The marinade includes raw papaya for tenderizing and saffron for aroma.

Some versions use rose water for extra fragrance. Traditionally served at Nizami feasts in copper vessels. The slow cooking preserves nutrients while developing complex flavors.
