It has roots in Persian and Central Asian cuisine, where rice and meat were cooked together with spices. 🏹 Persian Influence Ancient Persians cooked rice with meat and aromatic spices. When Persian traders, travelers, and invaders came to the Indian subcontinent, they brought this cooking style with them. 🕌 Arrival in India (The Mughal Era) Biryani became famous in India during the Mughal Empire (16th century). 👑 Mughal Kitchens Mughal emperors loved rich, aromatic food. Royal cooks refined Persian rice dishes using Indian spices, herbs, and cooking techniques. It became a luxury dish served in palaces and during celebrations. 👸 Legend of Mumtaz Mahal A famous story says Mumtaz Mahal, wife of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, asked palace cooks to make a nutritious meal for soldiers.
