There's something oddly satisfying about opening a neatly tied package to find biryani inside. At Aamchee, the Potli Biryani turns the familiar rice dish into a banana-leaf parcel, wrapped and steamed to lock in its aromas.

The fragrant basmati rice is layered with saffron, fried onions, cashews, raisins and herbs, giving every spoonful a mix of sweetness, nutty-consistency and spice. Steaming in the banana leaf lends the rice a subtle earthy aroma while keeping it soft and flavourful.

The boondi raita, topped with crunchy boondi and herbs, adds a cooling, creamy contrast. The presentation may draw you in, but the well-seasoned rice makes the potli worth opening.

At Aamchee, Soni Building, 46, Pandita Ramabai Road, opposite Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Girgaon Chowpatty.
Cost Rs 385
