The city of Dhaka in Bangladesh is known for selling "Chevon Biryani" (a dish made with highly seasoned rice and goat meat). The recipe includes highly seasoned rice, goat meat, mustard oil, garlic, onion, black pepper, saffron, clove, cardamom, cinnamon, salt, lemon, dahi, peanuts, cream, raisins and a small amount of cheese (either from cows or buffalo). Hajir biryani is a favourite among Bangladeshis living abroad. The recipe was handed over by the founder of the restaurant to his next generation. Haji Mohammad Shahed claimed, "I have never changed anything, not even the amount of salt".
Dhakai Kacchi Biryani is accompanied by borhani, a salted mint drink made of yogurt, boiled eggs and salt.
