Biryanis can never be skipped from a favourite meal menu. Life without biryanis would slightly be boring and if you are a biryani lover, you will admit it. We are not going to comment on the bit as to whether there exists a veg biryani recipe or no, but chicken and mutton biryanis are the definition of a real biryani. A beautiful array of long-grained rice, tender meat, pungent spices, flavourful nuts and sweet crisp onions, most often topped with orange strands of exotic saffron and aromatic kewra water – isn’t this absolutely desirable!?. This dish, thus, has acquired a deserving stature, and is made all over the country with variations in every household and region!
Check out the list that we have for all diehard biryani fans!
Hyderabadi Biryani
When it comes to biryanis, this stalwart is the first one to pop in our minds. Succulent mutton chunks – check. Fragrant long grain basmati rice – check. Cooked under dum – check. This true blue, tried and tested authentic Mutton Biryani recipe from Hyderabad has satisfied even the most stringent critics since times immemorial. If you haven’t tried one yet, your biryani story is incomplete.
Gulabari Kofta Biryani
Another one from the royal bylanes of Hyderabad. Just like the Awadh, we cannot not agree to the fact that the ‘city of pearls’ houses some of the most authentic Biryani recipes. The name of this particular recipe reveals about its main ingredient, which is rose water and rose petals. Rice cooked with lovely mutton koftas and flavoured generously with rose is another shahi mutton biryani that you need to try next.
Mopillah Biryani
The ‘mopillah’ style of cooking comes from the northern region of ‘Gods own country,’ Kerala. And this Mutton Biryani is influenced by Arabic cuisine. Succulent pieces of mutton cooked in aromatic spices, herbs and assorted nuts. A slightly tedious process there, but totally worth it!
Fatafat Biryani
Yes, a mutton biryani can also be done quickly, and this is that recipe. But, just as tasty as a traditional mutton biryani or chicken biryani in South Indian style. Have a party or a casual meet up at home with friends? Worry not, this is that pot of awesomeness that quite literally gets done in a jiffy. Time to show off your skills!
Kachche Gosht ki Biryani
This is as exotic as a biryani can get! Another famed Biryani recipe from Hyderabad. Kachche Gosht ki Biryani is nothing but raw meat slow-cooked with fine long grained rice to create a succulent, fragrant, layered delight. With just the right balance of spices and herbs, this biryani is a 5-star recipe. Serve hot with raita; it will leave you wanting for more!
Cuppa Mince Biryani
The best way to make use of leftover rice is this Cuppa Mince Biryani recipe. Cooking it with mutton mince, aromatic masalas and serving it in cups, not just results in a flavourful biryani, but, also makes it a treat to the eyes. The complete fancy meal to serve at parties or occasions!
Now, that you have so many choices for a biryani, take a look at the all-time favourite accompaniments to create the most splendid biryani spread!
Raita
A biryani and raita combination is the ‘jai-veeru’ Jodi in the food world! Yogurt or dahi mixed with boondi or your choice of fruits/veggies, seasoned, cooled and served with a piping hot biryani – this is literally how heaven would look, feel, taste like! You can choose from an array of raita recipes. While Burani Raita is a classic one, we suggest some unique ones like Pakodi, Mango Mint and Bhindi.
Salan
A salan is spicy, tangy, nutty gravy that traditionally goes with a Hyderabad style biryani. But, we say, that you can pair it up with any good biryani recipe and enjoy the unique flavours. While we will bet on the most loved Mirchi ka Salan, the Khatti Arbi ka Salan is well worth a try.
Kachumber
A simple tossed desi salad – there are a number of variations you can mix and match to prepare a good kachumber. Our favourite pick would be the Watermelon Kachumber because of the refreshing sweetness it lends to a spice laden robust biryani.
