Malaysians love biryani, but husband-and-wife Jatinder Singh Badwal and Kishpreet Bakshi, both from Punjab, felt something was missing here in KL: true dum biryani, sealed with dough and slow-cooked in a clay pot the way it’s made in Lucknow.

So in July 2025 they started The Biryani Company: biryani cooked to order in clay handis brought in from India, sealed, and delivered across KL in the pot it was cooked in. They still hold full-time jobs, and cook and deliver only at weekends. In their first year they made around RM55,000 in revenue, are already profitable, and have sent out more than 1,000 clay pots with a 4.9-star Google rating.

They join us to talk about the dum method, growing a weekend business, and their plans to go big with tourism and corporate clients.
