Nasi Beriani Gam

Nasi Beriani Gam is a Biryani rice dish which originated from India, its cooking method similar to Hyderabad Biryani but adapted with spices suited to the Malay palate. The rice is cooked like any other Biryani rice but the pot is sealed when the rice is nearing its fully-cooked stage, thus being called ‘Gam’. In the olden days, the pot was sealed with dough but nowadays it is done with towels or sheets of newspaper.
