Recipe for how to make restaurant-style biryani rice
June 07, 2021
Biryani rice originates from South Asia (India and Pakistan). In Indonesia and Malaysia, this dish is often referred to with the addition of the word nasi (nasi biryani, nasi briyani, nasi briani, or nasi beriani. The name of this dish ("Biryani") comes from the Persian language, which means fried or grilled. In ancient times, rice is fried in ghee before being boiled in water with spices until half cooked.
Biryani is made from rice that has been boiled in a separate pot. After the rice is half cooked, the rice is mixed with the seasoned broth, tightly covered in a saucepan, and cooked until the broth is absorbed into the rice. Biryani differs from Pullao (pilaf) (spiced rice) in the way it is cooked. When cooking Pullao, rice is fried with spices in ghee, and immediately cooked until done.
Travelers and traders from the Persian Nation introduced the way to cook biryani to Indians and Pakistanis. This dish is popular not only in India and Pakistan, but also in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and among the Muslim population of Sri Lanka.
Spices used when cooking biryani include: ghee, nuts, cumin, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, koja bay leaves, coriander, mint leaves, ginger, onions, and garlic. Authentic biryani with saffron.
The "non-vegetarian" rice biryani (not for vegetable eaters only) uses beef, chicken, mutton, lamb, or shrimp. Side dishes can be "Forehead Chutney", korma, curry, eggplant or poached eggs. Here's a recipe for how to make restaurant-style biryani:
