Why Biryani Is the Most Rewarding Delicacy

Everyone has their own taste when it comes to food, but as an SEO professional, I can confidently say that a large part of the world, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and many Arab countries, would agree - Biryani is the most rewarding delicacy.

What Makes Biryani So Special?

Biryani is a dish that uses fresh Indian spices and marinated mutton or chicken. The longer the meat or chicken is kept for marination, the better the aroma. This aroma is simply mouth-watering and irresistible.

Why Biryani Is Irresistible

Let me share a few instances that lead me to the conclusion that nobody can resist Biryani.

Family Traditions in Qatar

My family lives in Qatar, and after every Friday prayer, we used to visit a famous Hyderabadi restaurant. I was around 11 years old, and I was always excited to have biryani there. The restaurant was always packed, with people from the Indian subcontinent and Middle Eastern countries. Locals with huge utensils would order up to 15 plates and wait in the line near the roundabout for an hour in the heat. The owner got so rich that he now has 3 restaurants in the area that I know of.

A Neighbors-Request in Canada

In 2003, my family moved to Canada for a brief period. As usual, on Friday, my mom had cooked Biryani with the kitchen window open. The next thing you know, we had 4 neighbors asking her for the recipe for what she had cooked. This made me realize how popular Biryani can be when deliciously prepared.

Spreading Popularity in Ukraine

When I first came to Ukraine in 2011, I wasn't a great cook. I often made sandwiches and ate out. But as the years passed, I started experimenting with different cuisines, including simple Indian and Arab dishes. Not until last year did I decide to cook Biryani. I looked up the ingredients online and got a few tips from my mom. The result? It came out perfectly as it was supposed to be. Trust me when I say this - girls, I was living in a dorm at the time and filling up my dorm compartment with the aroma. Even a girl I adored in the next compartment came and asked me. I suddenly became very popular in the dormitory, even though most of the foreigners there spoke only decent Russian and poor Ukrainian. Most of them found it spicy, but they were happy to enjoy it.

How to Cook Biryani Right

Biryani is usually something I advise everyone from every country to try. The best version is the Hyderabadi one, using long-grain rice (basmati) and fresh lamb meat and spices. It pairs perfectly with something called raita, which is curds thinned with a little water, cucumbers, onions, carrots, and some salt. This dish is a feast for the senses, especially the smell.

Conclusion

No matter where I eat, I will always love this particular dish. Biryani is truly a delicacy that brings people together, whether they are from different cultural backgrounds or not. It is a perfect blend of flavors, aromas, and emotions that make it an unforgettable experience.
