WORD OF THE DAY
If you're in the mood for a vibrant, customizable Indian rice dish packed with spices, vegetables, and meats, then biryani is the perfect choice.
The word biryani is likely derived from the Persian word birinj, "rice," or biryan, "to fry." The dish may have originated in Iran, but was later adapted into the popular Indian dish known today. There are many variations of biryani from different regions of India. Some are very spicy, while others have a milder flavor. Biryani is often served at celebrations and family gatherings throughout South Asia. It's traditionally made by layering long-grain Basmati rice with a protein and vegetables. The complex mix of spices in biryani often includes saffron or turmeric, which give it a bright yellow hue.
