Another variation that originated in Tamil Nadu is the Ambur biryani. This particular dish can be found in the small town of Ambur where a large number of biryani stalls can be seen on the Chennai – Bengaluru highway. However, those who do not have the time to visit Ambur, can also sample this variation at hotels in Tamil Nadu such as Turyaa Chennai. Ambur biryani comes with different types of meat such as chicken and beef as well as prawn. What makes Ambur biriyani special is that the meat, be it chicken, beef or mutton, prior to being added to the rice, is usually soaked in curd. This dish is generally served with onion raita and brinjal.
