Thalappakatti biriyani

      Thalappakatti Biriyani is a renowned South Indian biriyani brand that originated in Dindigul, Tamil Nadu, and is celebrated for its unique flavor and heritage. Founded in 1957 by Nagasamy Naidu, the name "Thalappakatti" (meaning "turban" in Tamil) comes from the traditional headgear he wore, which became a symbol of authenticity and quality.
