Eid celebrations are incomplete with out a scrumptious biryani.Until I stepped out of India Eid was all about diving in biryani and sheer khurma.After landing here I realised every country /community has its special eid delicacies.Biryani is a speciality of India and Pakistan.Biryani has travelled from Persia along with Moguls who ruled India and has become a part and parcel of Indian history.The word biryani is derived from the words birian(fried) and birinj which means rice in persia. there are N number of biryani varieties and Bombay biryani is one of them.The addition of plums ,kewra essence and potatoes distinguishes itself from mainstream biryanis.Alhamdulillah life has become much easier with the ready made packets of biryani masala and I prefer it for this Bombay biyani.I haven't added any potatoes as there are no takers in my family.From the birth of a baby to a graduating ceremony ,marriage and every celebration is rejoiced with a biryani at my place.
