History of biryani
Biryani is a dish made of rice and various types of meat. This dish is a culinary tradition of South Asian countries like India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Its origins are debated, but it is believed that when Persian travelers came to the Indian subcontinent, they introduced it. The word “biryani” comes from the Persian word “birian.”
The Mughals, who were of Central Asian origin, introduced many culinary practices to India. They experimented with cooking rice and meat together. During the Mughal Empire, biryani evolved into a royal dish, becoming more elaborate with the use of local spices and cooking techniques.
