Delicious Biryani is a mixed rice dish originating in South Asia, traditionally made with rice, meat ( Chicken or goat,, Lamb, Beef) or seafood (Prawns, lobsters or fish), spices, complex blend of flavours and aromas. One Legend has it that the Turk-Mongol conqueror, Timur brought the precursor to the biryani to India in 1398 – earthen pots full of rice, spices and available meats would be buried in a hot pit, before being dug up and served to soldiers. Another legend has it that the dish was brought to the southern Malabar coast of India by Arab traders who were frequent visitors there,   Biryani came from Persia and brought to India by the Mughals but central Asia where the Mughals come from does not grow any rice or spices. There are records of a rice dish known as Oon Soru (rice, ghee, meat, turmeric, coriander, pepper, and bay leaf) in Tamil literature as early as the year 2 A.D. used to feed military warriors. There are also story that traces the origins of the dish to Mumtaz Mahal, Shah Jahan’s beauty queen who inspired the Taj Mahal.
