Details and Ingredients

Biriyani Rice - Kaima, prepared Kerala-style, showcases the unique aroma and texture of Kaima rice (Jeerakasala), a short-grain variety cherished in Malabar cuisine. Cooked in ghee with a blend of whole spices—cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and star anise—it’s infused with a subtle coconut essence and garnished with fried onions and cashews. The rice absorbs the rich flavors of the spices, resulting in a fragrant, slightly nutty profile that distinguishes it from basmati biriyani. This dish is a staple in Kerala’s biriyani tradition, offering a lighter yet deeply satisfying taste.

Served hot, Biriyani Rice - Kaima pairs beautifully with Kerala-style chicken curry, beef fry, or a cooling raita, making it a versatile and flavorful choice.
