Being a Bengali myself, I would love to share my piece of wisdom with other food lovers. Today's piece is on Briyani, dedicated to all those who are briyani lovers. The First stroke of brand names that hit our minds when we usually here Briyani are- Amminia, Arsalan, Nizam, Ali Baba, Lazeez and many kid- brands following accordingly.
The boiled potato and Chicken Briyani is like tasting Heaven's delicious food recipes on earth. It is said that Chicken Briyani is the queen of all briyanis. Now dont think that i am giving it that title only because i am biased towards it. Actually never a plate of briyani is enough for a foody enthusiast like me.. (Sssshhhh! That's a secret) Otherwise i wont get any invitation ahead for briyani.
Now if you are quite smart, then you can try Fish Briyani and Dum Briyani accordingly and serve hot and delicious! uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhh. I cherished every morsel of this plate of Briyani. Pictures remain as memories that yes I could see it and rewind the taste.
Kolkata Style Briyani has its impact all over the shades of India. No matter whenever people go and start their living, they don't forget the food habits they have once started enjoying in Bengal. Thus a resident in Bangalore also, searches for the best style of Briyani even in their town of their workplace.
Briyani mix spice is the soul of the entire recipe. It creates magic for its lovers when they taste a morsel of it. That's where lies the success of the cook/chef. I tablespoon of Keora Water adds to its greatest essence along with tint of the world's expensive species- Saffron/Jafran. donot use lots of Keora water in your briyani recipe orelse your dish will taste bitter and scented all the more.
