Indian Cuisines: The Great Flavor Of Chicken Biriyani

Biryani is a dish that comprises of Meat and Rice, layered and cooked together with some spices… It springs from the Persian word ‘Birian’ which implies roasting before cooking.

Biryani originated from Persia and the legend states that that the nomads and tribals carried lots of rice and meat on their extended trips and they developed the custom of layering meat and rice and cooking them as one after sprinkling plenty of nuts and dry herbs. The customary approach consisted of simmering and cooking the combination under fire and then burying it in sand for a long time before the dish was deemed ready. The traditional form of Biryani has since then been improvised and modernized according to convenience

Biryani has taken a number of forms since then, and gone on to become a gourmet dish, that has been evolved and fine-tuned to such an extent, that now one comes across at least 50 varieties of Biryanis. I may be wrong there, as the number may be greater.

Biryani has Rice and Meat as its fundamental ingredients. The rest of the ingredients, vary based on the type and style of the Biryani being cooked.

Hyderabad in India is considered as the Biryani capital of the world. There are mind boggling varieties of Biryanis prepared here at different restaurants. Some of those recipes are tightly guarded by families and restaurants, as they have been handed down through quite a few generations. The Mughals brought Biryani with them when they invaded India. It is one of the many influences that came to India with the Mughals and became very famous here and with time have further evolved. It also took on some local flavors to suit the spice loving Indians.

A good Biryani consists of perfectly cooked meat and the right blend of herbs and spices, cooked together with rice. The meat and rice is not mixed whilst cooking. They are both cooked separately. The final phase of the cooking consists of layering the two alternatively and generally cooked either in an oven or on conventional wood fire, using low heat.
