Biryani is one of the most famous dishes in south Asia it is combination of fried rice with meat and with some spices and tastes absolutely delicious.

Let me tell you the history of biryani where is the origin of this masterpiece dish which ignites your taste birds so according to the sources it originates from India and it was first made in Mughal era and some historian claimed that biryani was discovered before Mughal era and unpopular opinion of a group of people claim that biryani roots were in Persia but besides the difference between historian the popular and more reliable claim is that Mughals cooks founded this tasty dish. As we all know that Mughals are fond of food and they love to eat and try new food so I personally agree with the statement that Mughals originated this marvelous and delicious combination of fried rice and meat.
