The HOTBOX Biriyani stands out for its authenticity and use of traditional ingredients. Unlike other biryanis in Bangalore that use basmati rice, the Thalassery version is made with short-grained Kaima/Jeerakasala rice which is distinct to the Malabar region of Kerala. The texture of Khaima rice contributes to the overall taste of the Thalassery biriyani by providing a fluffy, separate grain structure that absorbs flavors well and enhances the aroma!
Their biryanis are low on chili but packed with flavors from the use of aromatic spices like cloves, cinnamon, and onions. It is further enriched with ghee, cashew nuts, and raisins. The meat and rice are layered together in a sealed vessel for the flavors to meld.
If you are planning to visit with 4 or more people, I would definitely encourage you to go for their POT BIRYANI.
Mr. Sameer explained to me that their pot cooking method ensures even cooking of the meat and rice, while the sealed lid traps the steam and aromas, resulting in a flavorful, moist biryani. I would say, the earthen pot also imparts a unique earthy flavor. The HOTBOX’s commitment to traditional recipes and quality ingredients sets their biriyani apart from the many Mughlai-style biryanis found in the city.
