BIRYANI it is...

have you tried biryani yet? beef? chicken or fish? hmmmm.... if not maybe you start to think about it (if your in middle east its easy to get one)... ive only tried it one time here in doha,qatar but its definitely worth a repeat performance haha.... first impression when they served it to me was.. "Where is the beef here?" by the way i ordered beef biryani... not knowing it was covered with the rice hahahaha.. so i want to share what ive learned about this dish which made me "inosente"..

lookin up in the web.. biryani name was derived the persian word "berya(n)" which simply means "fried" or "roasted".. it belong to middle east and southern asian family of dishes (south asia countries consists of ..bangladesh, british indian ocean territory, india, maldives, bhutan, pakistan, sri lanka).. it is usually made out of spices, rice, meat/vegetables and yogurt.. there are many kind of biryanis like fish, beef, chicken, vegetables and many more...

in some countries they serve biryani in special occasions like weddings... how can we say if the biryani we are eating is good?.. indiacurry.com have given some categories to check of a good biryani:

1. Aroma. It must have both sweet fragrance and herbal warm aroma. 2. It should be savory, but not spicy 3. Finally, it should meet the age old test. Drop a handful of Biryani on a hard floor. No two grains of rice should be stuck to each other.

feeling hungry? for those who dont know what a biryani looks like here are some photos to make it more interesting.. hmm.. ENJOY YOUR MEAL.
