This may sound extreme, but if you haven’t had biryani, and your desi, then you’re just culturally deprived. Yes, I’m that serious. I just can’t fathom the fact that living in a desi-household, you missed out on biryani?
If you haven’t picked up on it already, I take my Biryani very seriously. I mean who doesn’t?
The Biryani Code
Everyone has a different way to make biryani. Some prefer homemade spices, others just pick up ready made spices. You can substitute a bunch of things when making biryani, like some prefer chicken, beef, and don’t get me started on the potato no potato war. All in all, you know the one thing you can’t substitute, yes you guessed it, rice.
Biryani revolves around the type of rice you use. You’re biryani can go from 0- to 100 real quick, just by picking the right rice. Now what do I mean by the right rice? Falak rice, obviously.

Basmati rice is known for its aroma and long length. This variety of rice is so special that it can only be grown in specific places, like Punjab.
Basmati Rice
You’re probably unaware of all the processes that these grains of rice go through before reaching your house. Each grain goes through intense cleaning, cause no one wants any stones in their Biryani right?
After that the rice is processed, each grain has to meet the requirement of being 7.3mm long. It isn’t the King of Rice for nothing. Not only does the rice have length, it also has aroma, taste and this fluffy texture that give marshmallows a run for their money. The work doesn’t stop here, the rice is then aged so that it can improve in texture and fragrance.
Basmati Rice, is what makes your dishes, especially biryani stand out. Like think about it, would you pick a sad, short-grained biryani, or a beautiful, slender, long-grained, aromatic and fluffy biryani?
