Indian Biryani Cities
Biryani has been originated in Turkey or Persia. The Muslim travelers have brought this to India by the Iranian travelers many years ago. It slowly left its footsteps in different parts of India, traveling with the royalty and the locals from north to south, while each region adapted the original in their own ways. In the present times, there are more than one kind of Biryani, and the way it is cooked depends from one region to another. But the basics remain the same – the precious fragrant spices, the layering of the meat and the rice and finally the dam or the steam which combines it all and culminates into this treasured royal recipe. You can have a vegetable, mutton, chicken, prawn, fish biryani and many more. The famous and most consumed is the Chicken Biryani. Today we are giving you a reason to travel with GozoCabs to enjoy the “Biryani Tour of India”.
