History of Biryani

Biryani's history is as diverse as its flavours. Biryani’s origin traces back to the Persian delight "birinj Biryani," which means fried rice. The Mughals, with their love for all things delicious, embarked on a culinary adventure that changed the usual choice of taste of the region forever. Enter Biryani, a dish that soon became the centrepiece of Mughal cuisine. As the Mughals took the reins of power in India, they brought a delicacy from their land. They sprinkled their cooking pots with spices, adding an exotic touch to the diverse flavour. The result? A fusion that made the taste buds rejoice. But what made the Biryanis truly special were the rich ingredients that combined them.

The Mughals did not just stop at meat and rice; they took it a step further. They added dry fruits like raisins and apricots to add a tinge of sweetness. Almonds and cashew added a crunch, while the caramelised onions gave off rich and deep flavours.

As Biryani spread across India, it also travelled to other parts of the world through trade and migration: Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and the middle east, each with unique twists.
