One of the most celebrated classic dishes, biryani is as indulgent as it is flavourful. And so are its many tales. A welltravel­led recipe, it has adapted itself to various regions and palettes. One of the most spoken legends about biryani from the land of Behrouz talks about how it was first created by the royal khansamas of Behrouz for their beloved King Piruz.

Legend goes that the khansamas were once asked to prepare a rice dish for some of the royal guests of King Piruz. It had to be gentle and mellow, well-suited for the evolved tastebuds of the royal guests. Hence, the khansamas created a special biryani with seasoned long grain rice that was cooked in the dum-pukht style with artfully balanced spices. It is said that the recipe of this coveted biryani was so closely guarded by the kingdom that it even went to war to keep this biryani recipe a secret.

Amidst all these disputed legends and tales of biryani the love for this one-pot dish is eternal. Nothing can ever replace a warm aromatic plate of biryani. It is indulgent, filled with the best homegrown spices and makes you feel totally at home.
