Biryani, for those untouched by the phenomenon, is a one-pot rice dish that originated from the Middle-East. The word biryani itself comes from the Persian word birian, meaning fried before cooking. The long-grain rice is layered in a huge pot and then the meat and spices are added to it. Biryani is of a variety of types and can be cooked up in various ways.
