Biryani is one of the most popular dish originated from the Indian sub-continent. It is a classic Indian mixed rice dish cooked with Indian spices, rice and meat. Whole garam masala spices is a flavorful spice which cannot be substituted for the true taste of biryani. Also the basic flavor of classic biryani should include fried onions, coriander mint leaves, curd and saffron.

Over the years biryani has been adapted to suit one’s personal liking and taste. Today across India one can find different kinds of biryani made in their own regional style. Biryani is typically served in festive occasions, weddings and special celebrations.

I have made biryani with almost everything like chicken, Mutton, fish, prawns, eggs and vegetable biryani but pork biryani is the first time I made in my kitchen though I have enjoyed it in restaurants here in Chennai and I am happy I could make it happen and happy with the outcome.
