Directions

Tehari is a traditional South Asian rice dish, often associated with Bangladeshi cuisine. Unlike biryani, which is more elaborate, Tehari is a simpler, one-pot dish where beef or mutton is cooked with fragrant spices, then layered with partially cooked rice and slow-cooked on Dum (low heat). The use of mustard oil enhances its rich and deep flavor, making it distinct from other rice dishes. It is typically served with a side of cucumber raita, pickles, or a fresh salad. Tehari is perfect for special occasions or as a comforting homemade meal.
