Biryani is the unspoken star of Indian cuisine and wherever you go in the country, you’re sure to find some form of biryani to feast on. Though the Northern states often get more attention, the South of India, and Chennai in particular have a number of unique biryani styles that are native to the state of Tamil Nadu. The legendary Ambur biriyani, originating from the small town of Ambur in Vellore district, stands out with its distinctive flavour enhanced by coriander, mint, and curd.
