Zurbian: The Yemeni Biryani With Hyderabadi Influence

Zurbian is a Yemeni rice dish believed to be inspired by Hyderabadi biryani through centuries-old trade between Aden and Hyderabad. It features layered rice, marinated meat, potatoes and a unique Yemeni spice mix. Now popular in Hyderabad, Zurbian blends Middle Eastern and Indian flavours, reflecting the rich culinary exchange between the two cultures.
