Intro
Did you know that Biryani is a call for a celebration!! It is one of my favourite one pot recipe layered in flavours, cooked with lot of imperfections to make a perfect dish of celebration.
Origin
Biryani has been introduced to this world, well it is unsure. The mystery makes it even more enticing to have a delicious dish. It is the most popular dish prepared, served and eaten mostly in India, nevertheless the finest introduction to the world of cuisine. It is a rice dish mixed with meat, vegetables, or nuts along with spices. It is made with different spices in different parts of the India. There's spicy ones and there's flavourful ones. The debate is still on, non-vegetarians scrutinizing a vegetable biryani as a pulav, and won't let us vegan or vegetarians enjoy a biryani in peace. LOL... 😁Nonetheless, here I am, appreciating the pioneers of biryani and spreading my love for it.
