Eid Ul Fitr 2021: 7 Biryani Recipes For Eid

The festive blast in India continues. After the 10 day-long festivities of Navratri, we are ready to celebrate Bakra Eid now. No Eid celebration is truly complete with delicious foods. Eid recipes like kebabs, sheera, rezala and most importantly biryani hold the court at the dining table on this festive occasion. Every region in India usually has its own unique biryani recipe.

As there are several types of biryani prevalent in India, we have given you an ensemble of various biryani recipes to choose from. There is the special Mughali mutton biryani that came from the shahi bawarchi-khanas (royal kitchens) of the Mughal emperors. Rich and aromatic spices are the trademarks of any Mughal food. Equally famous is the Luckowi biryani that delighted the Nawabs of Awadh. It is much milder on the spices but just as delicious as the Mughlai variety.

When we go down South, the Nizams of Hyderabad give us the Hyderabadi Dum Biryani recipe. Dum biryani is a category by itself because it is prepared in a particular way. In God's own country Kerala, we can discover the charms of the Malabar style biryani. You can smell the sweet scent of the young banana leaf in this biryani recipe along with the rich taste of coconut.

Moving East, we get the special taste of Kolkata Biryani that was improvised from its Lucknowi cousin. It is much lighter in spices and the only biryani that comes with a potato.

There is also the coastal innovation of the prawn biryani that could also make a very different Eid recipe.
