The video is a step-by-step guide on how to make Thalassery Dum Biryani at home. The host starts by washing an 8kg chicken, which is then cut into large pieces for the biryani. The chicken is fried in oil, and the onions are fried separately. The chicken and onions are then added to a stove with ghee, garlic paste, ginger paste, green chilli paste, turmeric powder, and garam masala. The chicken is cooked until it changes color, and then coriander and mint leaves are added. The biryani is then cooked for 10 minutes, after which it is mixed with fried onions and rice. The rice is cooked separately, and then the biryani is transferred to a dum. The dum is placed on a stone and covered with a weight. After 5 minutes, the dum is opened and the biryani is ready to be served. The host encourages viewers to try making the dish at home and adjust the quantities based on their needs.
