Biryani is one of the most loved dishes in India. Every state here has created its version; right from Hyderabadi, Lucknow, Kolkata, Dindigul, Sindhi, and many more. The fondness for this dish is truly unmatchable. This article is about what Biriyani says…

Biryani is of – freshly cooked aromatic rice, with a combination of spices and the meat of your choice (Chicken, Mutton, Fish, or Egg).

We all can agree that there is no love greater than the LOVE FOR BIRYANI!

Firstly, Every state, culture, subculture, and region has created its version of Biryani and they seem to protect or fight for their version as the best version of Biryani.

The word ‘biryani’ is from a Persian word, Biryani, which means fried before cooking. There are various theories about Biryani and its origin and its history in India.

Secondly, It is believed in 1398, the conqueror of Turk Mongol, Timur brought Biryani to India. Biryani was a part of his daily diet.

Then there is another theory that states that Biryani was first brought to the Southern Malabar Coast of India by Arab Traders.

Biryani is very similar to the dish mentioned in Tamil Literature, which goes by the name of Oon Soru.

Thirdly, The most popular story which we kind of believe in, is the one with Mumtaaz Begum.

Mumtaz Begum was the inspiration for many women of her time.

Biriyani’s best ingredients are as follows: 

  • Chicken/mutton/fish/egg – meat of your choice.
  • Rice
  • Vegetable
  • Basmati Rice
  • Chilli Pepper
  • Onion
  • Yoghurt
