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.
