Biryani

Indian Cuisine

Biryani is a mixed rice dish traditionally prepared with spiced meat, seafood, or vegetables. Present in Mughal-era India, its precise origin is debated, though it is thought to derive from Persian rice dishes and may have developed in Mughal court kitchens. It combines slow cooking with yoghurt-marinated meat and spicy Indian cooking. Biryani is widely popular in South Asia and among South Asian diaspora communities, with many local variations.
