Lots of herbs and spices go into making Biryani and the meat and veggies are encrusted and baked. Biryani in Persian pertains to cooking and roasting and the word Biryani comes from the same.

This special tasty recipe has its origins in Persia. The story goes that the nomads and the tribals carried lots of dried meat and rice with them while they traveled, and they layered the rice and the meat and added some dry herbs and nuts and let it seethe on a wood fire for for a while and then buried it in the sand for a few hours, after which the dish was considered ready. It was a pretty simple form of cooking Biryani those days, making use of nature and its resources.

Biryani has taken many different forms since then, and gone on to become a gourmet dish, that has been evolved and fine-tuned to such an extent, that now one comes across at least 50 varieties of Biryanis. I may be wrong there, as the number may be greater.

Biryani has meat and rice as its essential ingredients. The rest of the ingredients, differ depending on the variety and style of the Biryani being cooked.

There are many varieties of Biryani within India with each city having its own style, but perhaps Biryani from Hyderabad is the most famous of the lot. Believe it or not, a few of the biryani recipes are intensely protected by restaurants and families across generations. Biryani was infact introduced to India by the Mughals which was then improvised by the local Indians to suit their spice craving.

A good Biryani consists of nicely cooked meat and the right mix of spices and herbs, baked together with rice. The Rice and Meat is not combined while cooking. They're both cooked separately. The final phase of the cooking consists of layering the 2 alternatively and generally cooked either in an oven or on traditional wood fire, using low heat.
