“Hyderabadi BIRYANI”
The mouth becomes watery as soon as you think or hear the word “Biryani”. The Masala itself is unique which is made exclusively. The most popular & famous dish of South Asian Cuisine. It is prepared with Indian spices, rice & meat (egg, chicken, mutton, prawns, fish, pork, & beef ). The aroma which comes after the preparation of rice is amazing. From my view I think it is something that you would love to eat every day. The ingredients which go into it are cloves, bay leaves, cardamom, cinnamon, coriander, mint leaves, ginger, garlic, nutmeg, green chili, onion, tomatoes, pepper, also ghee & kewra water to enhance the flavour. The ingredients & the taste may vary from region to region. It is served hot along with Onion Dahi Raita & Mirchi Ka Salan.
Actual the birth of Biryani is unsure and it is also believed that there is no exact place of biryani from where it originated. Many believe that it is originated from the place where Muslim people live like Hyderabad, Ambur, Chettinad, Lucknow, Moradabad, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala. Apart from history here I would like to tell you about, which all places you will get to eat. With the personal experience, the best & flavorsome biryani is at the below places.
