5 types of amazingly delicious Biryanis every food lover should try

Biryani is a well-known Indian dish that has its own followers around the globe. It’s been satiating the hungry stomachs and distinct taste buds for centuries. As India is a treasure of spices, the dish is seasoned with regal spices like bay leaf, black cardamom, nutmeg, cinnamon, and others that bring out the taste and aroma. It’s the ingredients like coriander leaves and nuts that work as a cherry on the cake and make the dish drool-worthy. 

A brief look into the history

Biryani was first recognized in India during the Mughal settlers, as it was known, but dishes like Biryani were believed to be present even before then. It was cooked on special occasions for the Royal families by royal cooks and later it became popular among the natives who cherish it till now.

Types of Biryanis 

There are several ways in which Biryani is made these days, but only two of them are commonly used to prepare them. One is where marinated raw meat and rice are cooked combined, whereas another is where all the ingredients like meat chunks and rice are prepared separately and then layered. These two are the basic methods in which people make slight changes (in the cooking method and ingredients) and create Biryani in their own way. Here are the most popular types of Biryanis that food lovers relish.

Chicken Biryani - Chicken Biryani is the most popular Biryani of all time that you’ll see on every Indian restaurant’s menu. Flavored with whole and ground spices, the long-grained rice is infused with the chicken flavors.

Lamb Biryani - Lamb Biryani is served more in overseas Indian restaurants than the ones in the country itself due to the eating habits of locals. But it’s quite similar to the one that is made with goat meat and that people are fond of.

Goat Biryani - It is another popular Biryani that is cooked with an assortment of spices, nuts like cashews, raisins, and almonds, saffron, and more. It’s rich in flavors because of the number of rich ingredients used in the cooking.

Vegetable Biryani - Vegetable Biryani is no different than other types of Biryani, except that the meat is replaced with an array of comforting vegetables. The remaining ingredients and cooking procedure remain the same.

Shrimp Biryani - What makes Shrimp Biryani different is the replacement of meat with Shrimps. You can use any other seafood item and make it in your style using the vibrant Indian spices.
