There are various tales floating around related to the origins of the biryani. Some say that the dish was brought to India by the Mughals. However, Chef Saneesh Varghese of Nine7One, The Oberoi Dubai, who has trained under Michelin-starred chefs, and is a master storyteller when it comes to culinary tales offers us a version that’s quite believable.
“It was Mughal ruler Shah Jahan’s wife Mumtaz who, after noticing the soldiers looking malnourished, advised the royal chefs to come up with a dish for the army that would provide them with nourishment and strength. The result was a meat and rice combo dish called biryani,” explained Chef Saneesh.
