The interesting story of Biryani!
Friends and Follower, Biryani is a dish made in all our homes,
and there's probably no one who doesn't like it. While the word
"Biryani" is derived from the Persian language, meaning "Fried before Cooking,"
the Biryani we enjoy today was crafted during the Mughal era in India.
Biryani (derived from berya – frying + yā – rice) is a rice preparation, mixed with spices, vegetables, or
meat. It appears to be derived from pilaf, an Iranian dish that gave rise to many variants throughout the
Middle East and Central Asia. In India, it is made in different cuisines like Mughlai (in North India),
Hyderabadi (in South India), and Sindhi (in Western India). The best thing about biryani is that it is
delicious and aromatic at the same time.
Legend has it that during the reign of Shah Jahan,
the renowned queen Mumtaz, in whose memory the Taj Mahal was built,
once visited his army. The soldiers were weak, so Mumtaz suggested creating a dish with rice that would
provide them strength. Her royal kitchen then prepared Biryani, which we now relish. In the Mughal era,
Biryani was a royal dish, exclusively made for princes and princesses. This is how Biryani became famous
throughout India.
