Biryani

Biryani is a flavorful, aromatic rice dish originating from South Asia, combining fragrant long-grain rice with marinated meat, vegetables, and a blend of spices like saffron, cardamom, and cloves. It’s typically cooked through a process called 'layered dum', where ingredients are layered and steamed together, allowing the flavors to meld. Biryani varies regionally in ingredients and preparation styles, resulting in a rich, savory dish enjoyed across many cultures. It’s often served with complementary side dishes such as raita or salad, making it a hearty and festive meal enjoyed both everyday and on special occasions.
