Biryani is derived from the Farsi word ‘Birian’. Based on the name, and cooking style (Dum), one can conclude that the dish originated in Persia and/or Arabia.
In Farsi, Birian means ‘Fried before Cooking’. The Persian word beryā(n) (بریان) means “fried” or “roasted”.
In the olden days, rice was fried (without washing) in Ghee (Clarified butter). It did two things:
1. It gave the rice a nutty flavor
2. It burned the outside starch layer gelatinizing it. After the rice is stir-fried, it was boiled in water with spices till half cooked.
LEGENDARY ROOTS OF BIRYANI:
An interesting story traces the origins of the dish to Mumtaz Mahal(1593-1631), Shah Jahan’s queen who inspired the Taj Mahal. It is said that she once visited army barracks and found the army personnel under-nourished. She asked the chef to prepare a special dish which provided balanced nutrition, and thus the biryani was created.
While biryani is popularly associated with the Mughals, there is some historical evidence to show that there were other, similar rice dishes prior to the Mughal invasion. There is mention about a rice dish known as “Oon Soru” in Tamil as early as the year 2 A.D. Oon Soru was composed of rice, ghee, meat, turmeric, coriander, pepper, and bay leaf, and was used to feed military warriors.
Oon Soru
One legend has it that Timor, the lame brought it down from Kazakhstan via Afghanistan to Northern India.
Another legend say the Nomads would burry an earthen pot full of meat, rice and spices in a pit, eventually the pot was dug up and there was the Biryani.
However in conclusion, as the name stems from Persian origins, we can safely imprint that this flavorful treat garnered it’s popularity and spread from Iranian(modern day Persian) soils to the regions that the vast empire conquered over time including India, with the invasion of Mughal Empire under Timur.
HYDERABADI & ARCOT BIRYANI:
Aurangzeb installed Nizam-ul-mulk as the Asfa Jahi ruler of Hyderabad, as well as a ‘Nawab of Arcot’ to oversee Aaru Kaadu region (Six Forrests) south of Hyderabad. These moves gave rise to Hyderabadi Biryani and Arcot Biryani.
