The word Biryani is derived from the Persian word Birian which means fried before cooking and Birinj which is the Persian word for rice. The Biryani was brought and made popular in India by the Mughal dynasty during their reign in India. India being the land of spices the flavors of biryani varies from region to region due to the addition of local spices popular or grown specific in that region. Another theory is Biryani may have originated as an army dish instrumental in feeding soldiers during the war. The meat and rice cooked together with spices are effective in supplying the daily nutritional needs of the soldiers. A good biryani requires aromatic long grain or Basmati rice cooked al dente, little chewy at the center, fresh vegetables, and meat with aromatics which varies according to the region where the Biryani originated. Traditionally biryani was cooked over charcoal in an earthen pot in a process called dum, where the meat and rice are layered and then cooked in slow flame sealed with dough.
Lukhnowi chicken biryani
Lukhnowi Biryani with potatoes
Biriyani is a one pot meal which dates back to the era of Mughals.it is a Royal dish brought to India by the Nawabs and we still enjoy this rich delicacies in the various parts of the country .Among all the biriyanis the Hyderabadi and the Lukhnowi biriyani are the most popular.
While Hyderabad in the Deccan region of India is popular for its “Kacchi biriyani” where raw meat is cooked with the spices and the rice, the Lukhnowi biriyani is more aromatic and flavored with herbs to impart a heavenly taste to the final dish. Authentically this Biryani does not have potatoes but being a Bengali I love eating potatoes cooked in Biryani.
