🥘 The order to make
Naan Qalia - An Aurangabad specialty — a mutton-and-gram curry (qalia) of many spices, eaten with fresh tandoori naan
Biryani here means the slow sealed rice dish - spiced meat or vegetables cooked under the lid, with the rice doing half the seasoning.
The Mughlai side of the menu is the tandoor tier - breads out of the clay oven, kebabs off it, and cream-rich curries behind both.
