Biryani Ki Peshgi

BIRYANI KI PESHGI

The word ‘Biryani‘ is derived from a Persian word- ‘Birian‘, which means ‘fried before cooking’. There are various theories about Biryani and its origin and its history in India. It is believed in 1398, the conqueror of Turk Mongol, Taimur brought Biryani to India. Biryani was a part of his daily diet. In order to provide a balanced diet to the soldiers, he asked the chefs to prepare dishes with meat and rice. The dish was whipped up with spices and saffron and cooked over wood fire. Biryani is also regarded as a mixed rice dish originating among various parts of the Indian subcontinent. It is made with Indian spices, rice, and meat usually that of chicken, goat, lamb, prawn, fish, and sometimes, in addition, eggs or vegetables such as potatoes in certain regional varieties.

The classification and sub-classification of biryani basically differ on the basis of materials and equipment used. The type of material used for making the cooking pot makes a big difference. Traditionally it is cooked in an earthen pot, but with the passage of time people came up with their own ideas. Biryani is also said to be derived from the Persian word ‘Birinj’ which means Rice. That’s the reason of many giving its claim to Persia. The dish was further developed by Mughals in India. There are others who differ. Well, who cares about origin till the time it tastes amazing. There are many popular combinations of drinks that go very well with this. While most of us prefer a glass of lassi or chaas to go alongside a biryani there are also some who like Beer; North Indians are inclined towards buttermilk.
