About


Classic Biryani: Biryani is an authentic Indian dish that combines highly seasoned rice with meat, fish or poultry. However, modern cooks have adapted it to make vegetarian meals as well. It contains a mixture of spices that can include cinnamon, cumin, coriander, cloves, cardamom, saffron and ginger. The most classic of all biryani dishes - chicken biryani - was introduced to India by the Moguls to celebrate*led*, the feast that marks the end of the Muslim fast called Ramadan. As a result, biryani dishes have become associated with special occasions and celebrations.
