There are some styles of Tamil biryani that uses the short grain rice, seeraga samba, and that’s my fave kind

Sashinsashin@veganism.socialOct 21, 2026, 3:41 AM@skinnylatte What makes it Tamil style?

@sashin they originate from the different parts of Tamil Nadu and each place has its own specialty style. Dindigul, Ambur, Chettinad etc
Sometimes they use very short Tamil rice called seeraga samba, but not all of them do
It’s different from the Hyderabad or Lucknow style in that it’s a lot spicier (a heck load more masala that gets mixed into the rice).

Samuel Chasesamebchase@fantastic.earthOct 22, 2026, 8:54 AM@skinnylatte many biriyani enthusiasts in India don't even know about this rice
