About

Biryani is a popular dish from the Indian subcontinent. It is a rice-based dish made with spices, vegetables, and meat or fish. Biryani is usually served with raita, a yogurt-based condiment. It is a popular dish for special occasions and is often served at weddings and festivals. Biryani can be made with a variety of ingredients, including chicken, lamb, beef, shrimp, and vegetables. The dish is usually cooked in a sealed pot, which helps to keep the flavors and aromas of the ingredients inside.
