Watch: How To Make Delicious Aloo Dum Biryani For Your Weekend Indulgence

Most of our weekdays are typically fast-paced they usually fly by in a haze of busyness. We hardly get the prospect to decelerate till Saturday arrives. Well, now that the weekend is right here, we’re able to cease operating round and luxuriate in ourselves. Some scrumptious meals would go hand-in-hand with our plans for leisure. And what higher dish than biryani to bask in? While there are…

[forabeatofadrum]

Hello, happy Monday! Thank you @wellbelesbian, @you-remind-me-of-the-babe and @bitbybitwrites for the tag. I was at a birthday party yesterday, but better late than never, eh?

I know I still have to finish the 2nd February Friday Event, but here's six sentences of the 3rd:

“I can ask my dad if I can bring the japchae that’s in our fridge.” “And I am thinking about trying out my mum’s mashed potatoes.” “I have some leftover biryani from my grandma’s birthday.” Raine, Dae-Sung and Frances are all discussing what they should bring to the potluck, which isn’t a weird thing, because the potluck was planned ages ago. But Aled and Carys don’t really know what to add for now. It’s obvious that the others are bringing something that is important to their families, but their mother has never even cared to teach her children a family recipe, if there are any.

Yeah, this was supposed to be cute and fluffy and wholesome, but oops, a wild angst has appeared!

And now, the weather: @quizasvivamos @coffeegleek @caramelcoffeeaddict @raenestee @tectonicduck @nightimedreamersworld @urban-sith @thnxforknowingme @captain-aralias @cerriddwenluna @bookish-bogwitch @confused-bi-queer @that-disabled-princess @special-bc-ur-part-of-it @larkral @cutestkilla ​ @artsyunderstudy ​ @martsonmars ​ @facewithoutheart ​ @shrekgogurt @rockitmans @whatevertheweather @theotherhufflepuff @shame-is-a-wasted-emotion @esilher @kurtsascot @blackberrysummer @nightimedreamersghost

Dawat-e-Biryani

Dawat Yan Banquet is proud to present Dawat-e-Biryani, a collaboration between Mariam Magsi and her beloved, Gordan Sumanski. Biryani has the ability to bring people together. The yield is large, enough to satisfy all that partake in the eating of this layered, complex, historical and dynamic rice-based dish. Biryani is enjoyed in a variety of unique ways. In some parts of South Asia, like in the Sindh province of Pakistan, it is consumed with potatoes, while in other parts of the continent, such as South of India, it is eaten with eggs. Depending on the area, community, province and even family, within Pakistan itself, Biryani is created and consumed in many diverse ways and there are many healthy rivalries and culinary competitions amongst varying communities, about whose is the most authentic.

Within one Pakistani household, some members of the family may enjoy plums in their Biryani while others forego the dried fruit. Some folks like it plain, while others drown their Biryani in Raita (yogurt with cucumber). Some people eat it with their hands, while others prefer to cradle the colourful grains of rice with spoons and forks. Some like it sweet and spicy, and may even mix Zarda (a vibrant, colourful, sweet rice-based dish) with their Biryani, while others find the sweet and savoury mix to be an absolute abomination.

One aspect that qualifies Biryani for the Dawat Yan Banquet is the dish’s unique ability to unite people from all backgrounds, in feast, and in community, making the basis for the Dawat Yan Banquet. The food is inclusive, historical, and has connections to the Old Silk Road. Regional variations have all the common elements, the cause and effects of historical trading, and colonialism in the South East Asian subcontinent. Biryani brings a unique perspective to Dawat Yan, making the viewer question borders, race, culture and authenticity.

Dawat Yan Banquet is virtually hosted by Eric Chengyang and Mariam Magsi between the months of February and April, as part of the Art Gallery of Ontario's AGOxRBC Artist in Residence program, 2022. The Dawat Yan Banquet is part of Dawat Yan Project: dawatyanproject.tumblr.com - Visit the blog for archives, audio+video interviews, recipes, historical food tours, poetry and more.

[butterfliesoverfeelings]

I have friends I remember by the dish we cooked and ate together most. There's this one friend who relished in egg omelettes and chicken recipes who kept praising my accompanying flatbreads. Then there's this one friend I have made the maddest rice khichdi's with and she kept remembering the potato stuffed flatbread I once made in the breakfast before her final exams. There's this one friend I enjoyed the best pastas of my life with. There's this one person who made biryani for the first time in his life by following my directions. These memories belong to me. I remember people by the food I've made or eaten together.

My memories and friendships are forged in the aromas of happiness and flavours of good food. If you are a dear friend of mine, I'll remember you while I'm making something. Why do my family/friends have to settle for an orange peel theory to feel my love when I have a whole kitchen at my disposal? I'll make you a complete fruit salad if you ask me to peel an orange for you. I'll remove all the skin, pith and seeds along with the peel so that you can enjoy the clusters of joy without having to wait. I love and adore you all so much that I'm dedicating my food to all of you. If we're friends and you're one of my own, you don't have to settle your bar so low. Chin up, I'll whip a storm for you.

 The Flavorful Journey of SpoonSome

Biryani: A Culinary Tale

Introduction:

SpoonSome Biryani, a culinary delight that transcends borders and unites taste buds, has a journey as rich and diverse as its aromatic flavors. From humble beginnings to becoming a symbol of culinary excellence, the story of SpoonSome Biryani is a testament to the passion and dedication of its creators.

Biriyani

Biryani, a fragrant and flavorful one-pot dish, has captured the hearts and palates of millions across India. Whether it’s a festive occasion, a family gathering, or a simple weeknight dinner, biryani graces the table with its aromatic presence. In this article, we’ll explore the rich history, diverse variations, and the magic behind this beloved culinary masterpiece.

Origin of Biriyani

Biryani’s origins are shrouded in mystery, with various theories tracing it back to Persia, the Mughal courts, or even ancient India. Regardless of its beginnings, biryani has evolved over centuries, blending local ingredients, spices, and cooking techniques.

The Mughals, known for their opulent feasts, elevated biryani to an art form. They combined Persian pilaf techniques with Indian flavors, creating a harmonious symphony of rice, meat, and spices.

Regional Variations

Hyderabadi Biryani: The Nizams of Hyderabad perfected this style. It’s a marriage of Mughlai and local Telugu flavors. The raw biryani involves layering marinated meat and partially cooked rice, sealing the pot, and slow-cooking it.

Lucknowi Biryani: Awadhi biryani is fragrant and delicate. It uses saffron-infused rice and slow-cooked meat, often garnished with fried onions and raisins.

Malabar Biryani: Kerala’s Malabar coast offers a spicy version with coconut milk, curry leaves, and a hint of sweetness.

Sindhi Biryani: Influenced by Pakistani cuisine, Sindhi biryani features marinated meat, potatoes, and aromatic spices.

Origin Story:

The tale of SpoonSome Biryani begins in the bustling streets of Trivandrum, where a young man named Vysakh honed their craft in the art of biryani-making. Inspired by the rich culinary heritage of the region, a group of young entrepreneurs set out to create a biryani experience like no other. Thus, SpoonSome Biryani was born, blending traditional recipes with modern innovation.

On streets in India, where flavors collide and cultures intertwine, there exists a biryani that defies convention. Spoonsome Biryani, born from the creative mind of entrepreneur Vysakh, is more than just a dish – it’s an experience.

Herbs Fresh mint, cilantro, and curry leaves add brightness and balance. Their whispers infuse every layer.

Making Delicious Dums

The unveiling of a biryani pot is akin to opening a treasure chest – the aroma escapes, and anticipation reaches its peak.

Image 2: This special Biryani was created by my mother’s cousin - It was cooked during the last days of Ammi’s life at Aga Khan Hospital in Karachi, and though she was not able to enjoy it herself, she was beyond grateful to see her kids, and family members, enjoying Biryani together.

Image 4: Biryani on the Beach, Toronto edition. This Biryani was created by my beloved and we enjoyed it with his family at Woodbine Beach. His sister made a delicious, cooling mint-cucumber yogurt dip to compliment the spicy dish. We enjoyed it to our heart’s content. My beloved is from the Balkans and it has been a joy to witness his deep and growing love for desi food.

Image 8: An array of spices and tomatoes, key ingredients that go into the Sindhi version of Biryani that is enjoyed throughout Pakistan.

Biryani has the ability to bring people together. The yield is large, enough to satisfy all that partake in the eating of this layered, complex and dynamic rice-based dish. Biryani is enjoyed in a variety of unique ways. In some parts of South Asia, it is consumed with potatoes, while in other parts of the same region, it is eaten only with eggs. Depending on the area, community, province and even family, within Pakistan itself, Biryani is created and consumed in many diverse ways.

Within our household, for example, some of us like it with prunes, while others like it without. Some of us like it plain, while others drown our Biryani in Raita (cucumber-yogurt). Some of us eat it with our hands, while others prefer to cradle the colourful grains of rice with spoons and forks. Some of us like it sweet and spicy, so we may mix Zarda (a vibrant, colourful, sweet rice-based dish) with our Biryani, while others find the sweet and savoury mix to be an absolute abomination.

ABOUT INDIAN FOOD in USA

You will get know more about the best restaurants Around the world

INDIAN FOOD consists of a variety of regional and traditional cuisines native to India. Given the diversity in soil, climate, culture, ethnic groups, and occupations, these cuisines vary substantially and use locally available spices, herbs, vegetables, and fruits.

Indian food is also heavily influenced by religion, in particular Hinduism and Islam, cultural choices.

Historical events such as invasions, trade relations, and colonialism have played a role in introducing certain foods to this country. The Columbian discovery of the New World brought a number of new vegetables and fruit to India. A number of these such as potatoes, tomatoes, chillies, peanuts, and guava have become staples in many regions of India.

INDIAN FOOD has shaped the history of international relations; the spice trade between India and Europe was the primary catalyst for Europe's Age of Discovery.

Spices were bought from India and traded around Europe and Asia. INDIAN FOOD has influenced other cuisines across the world, especially those from Europe (especially Britain), the Middle East, Southern African, East Africa, Southeast Asia, North America, Mauritius, Fiji, Oceania, and the Caribbean.

HISTORY OF INDIAN FOOD NON-VEGETARIAN

INDIAN FOOD reflects an 8,000-year history of various groups and cultures interacting with the Indian subcontinent, leading to a diversity of flavors and regional cuisines found in modern-day India. Later, trade with British and Portuguese influence added to the already diverse INDIAN FOOD.

After 9000 BCE, the first period of indirect contact between the Fertile Crescent and Indus Valley civilizations seems to have occurred due to the Neolithic Revolution and the diffusion of agriculture. Around 7000 BCE, agriculture spread from the Fertile Crescent to the Indus Valley, and wheat and barley began to be grown. Sesame and humped cattle were domesticated in the local farming communities.

 Mehrgarh is one of South Asia's earliest sites with evidence of farming and herding. From circa 4500 to 1900 BC the rulers of Lower Mesopotamia were Sumerians who spoke a non-Indo-European and non-Semitic language, may have initially come from India and may have been related to the original Dravidian population of India.

By 3000 BCE, turmeric, cardamom, black pepper and mustard were harvested in India.

From Around 2350 BCE the evidence for imports from the Indus to Ur in Mesopotamia have been found, as well as Clove heads which are thought to originate from the Moluccas in Maritime Southeast Asia were found in a 2nd millennium BC site in Terqa. Akkadian Empire records mention timber, carnelian and ivory as being imported from Meluhha by Meluhhan ships, Meluhha being generally considered as the Mesopotamian name for the Indus Valley Civilization.

VEDIC AGE

VEGETARIAN

The ancient Hindu text Mahabharata mentions rice and vegetable cooked together, and the word "pulao" or "pallao" is used to refer to the dish in ancient Sanskrit works, such as Yājñavalkya Smṛti. Ayurveda, ancient Indian system of wellness, deals with holistic approach to the wellness, and it includes food, dhyana (meditation) and yoga.

ANTIQUITY

Early diet in India mainly consisted of legumes, vegetables, fruits, grains, dairy products, and honey.

Staple foods eaten today include a variety of lentils (dal), whole-wheat flour (aṭṭa), rice, and pearl millet (bājra), which has been cultivated in the Indian subcontinent since 6200 BCE.

Over time, segments of the population embraced vegetarianism during the Śramaṇa movement while an equitable climate permitted a variety of fruits, vegetables, and grains to be grown throughout the year.

A food classification system that categorised any item as saatvic, raajsic, or taamsic developed in Yoga tradition. The Bhagavad Gita proscribes certain dietary practices.

Consumption of beef is taboo, due to cows being considered sacred in Hinduism.[14] Beef is generally not eaten by Hindus in India except for Kerala, parts of southern Tamil Nadu and the north-east.

PICKLES

FOOD MENTIONED IN ANECIENT INDIAN SCRIPTURE

While many ancient Indian recipes have been lost in history, one can look at ancient texts to see what was eaten in ancient and pre-historic India.

Barley—(known as Yava in both Vedic and Classical Sanskrit) is mentioned many times in Rigveda and other Indian scriptures as one of the principal grains in ancient India

Betel leaf—primary use is as a wrapper for the chewing of areca nut or tobacco, where it is mainly used to add flavour; may also be used in cooking, usually raw, for its peppery taste

Breadfruit—fritters called jeev kadge phodi in Konkani or kadachakka varuthath in Malayalam are a local delicacy in coastal Karnataka and Kerala

Chickpeas—popular dishes are made with chickpea flour, such as mirchi bajji and mirapakaya bajji

Curd—a traditional yogurt or fermented milk product, originating from the Indian subcontinent, usually prepared from cow's milk, and sometimes buffalo milk, or goat milk

Figs —cultivated from Afghanistan to Portugal, also grown in Pithoragarh in the Kumaon hills of India; from the 15th century onwards, also grown in areas including Northern Europe and the New World

Ghee—a class of clarified butter that originated in ancient India, commonly used in the Indian subcontinent, Middle-Eastern cuisine, traditional medicine, and religious rituals

Grape wine —first-known mention of grape-based wines in India is from the late 4th-century BC writings of Chanakya

Honey —the spiritual and supposed therapeutic use of honey in ancient India was documented in both the Vedas and the Ayurveda texts

Mango—the Jain goddess Ambika is traditionally represented as sitting under a mango tree

Mustard —brown mustard is a spice that was cultivated in the Indus Valley civilization and is one of the important spices used in the Indian subcontinent today

Pomegranate—in some Hindu traditions, the pomegranate (Hindi: anār) symbolizes prosperity and fertility, and is associated with both Bhoomidevi (the earth goddess) and Lord Ganesha (the one fond of the many-seeded fruit)

Rice—cultivated in the Indian subcontinent from as early as 5,000 BC

Rice cake—quite a variety are available

Rose apple—mainly eaten as a fruit and also used to make pickles (chambakka achar)

Saffron —almost all saffron grows in a belt from Spain in the west to Kashmir in the east

Salt —considered to be a very auspicious substance in Hinduism and is used in particular religious ceremonies like house-warmings and weddings; in Jainism, devotees lay an offering of raw rice with a pinch of salt before a deity to signify their devotion, and salt is sprinkled on a person's cremated remains before the ashes are buried

Sesame oil —popular in Asia, especially in Korea, China, and the South Indian states of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu, where its widespread use is similar to that of olive oil in the Mediterranean

Sorghum—commonly called jwaarie, jowar, jola, or jondhalaa, sorghum is one of the staple sources of nutrition

Sugar—produced in the Indian subcontinent since ancient times, its cultivation spread from there into modern-day Afghanistan through the Khyber Pass

Sugarcane—the earliest known production of crystalline sugar began in northern India; the earliest evidence of sugar production comes from ancient Sanskrit and Pali texts

Turmeric —used widely as a spice in South Asian and Middle Eastern cooking

Middle Ages to the 16th Century

VEG DUM BIRYANI

During the Middle Ages, several Indian dynasties were predominant, including the Gupta dynasty. Travel to India during this time introduced new cooking methods and products to the region, including tea.

India was later invaded by tribes from Central Asian cultures, which led to the emergence of Mughlai cuisine, a mix of Indian and Central Asian cuisine. Hallmarks include seasonings such as saffron.

Colonial Period

The Portuguese and British during their rule introduced cooking techniques such as baking, and foods from the New World and Europe.

The new-world vegetables popular in cuisine from the Indian subcontinent include tomato, potato, sweet potatoes, peanuts, squash, and chilli. Most New World vegetables such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, Amaranth, peanuts and cassava based Sago are allowed on Hindu fasting days. Cauliflower was introduced by the British in 1822. In the late 18th/early 19th century, an autobiography of a Scottish Robert Lindsay mentions a Sylheti man called Saeed Ullah cooking a curry for Lindsay's family. This is possibly the oldest record of INDIAN FOOD in the United Kingdom.

INGREDIENTS

Staple foods of INDIAN FOOD include pearl millet (bājra), rice, whole-wheat flour (aṭṭa), and a variety of lentils, such as masoor (most often red lentils), tuer (pigeon peas), urad (black gram), and moong (mung beans). Lentils may be used whole, dehusked—for example, dhuli moong or dhuli urad—or split. Split lentils, or dal, are used extensively, Some pulses, such as channa or cholae (chickpeas), rajma (kidney beans), and lobiya (black-eyed peas) are very common, especially in the northern regions. Channa and moong are also processed into flour (besan).

Many Indian dishes are cooked in vegetable oil, but peanut oil is popular in northern and western India, mustard oil in eastern India, and coconut oil along the western coast, especially in Kerala and parts of southern Tamil Nadu, Gingelly (sesame) oil is common in the south since it imparts a fragrant, nutty aroma.

In recent decades, sunflower, safflower, cottonseed, and soybean oils have become popular across India, Hydrogenated vegetable oil, known as Vanaspati ghee, is another popular cooking medium, Butter-based ghee, or deshi ghee, is used commonly.

Many types of meat are used for Indian cooking, but chicken and mutton tend to be the most commonly consumed meats. Fish and beef consumption are prevalent in some parts of India, but they are not widely consumed except for coastal areas, as well as the north east.

The most important and frequently used spices and flavourings in INDIAN FOOD are whole or powdered chilli pepper (mirch, introduced by the Portuguese from Mexico in the 16th century), black mustard seed (sarso), cardamom (elaichi), cumin (jeera), turmeric (haldi), asafoetida (hing), ginger (adrak), coriander (dhania), and garlic (lasoon).

One popular spice mix is garam masala, a powder that typically includes seven dried spices in a particular ratio, including black cardamom, cinnamon (dalchini), clove (laung), cumin (jeera), black peppercorns, coriander seeds and anise star.

Each culinary region has a distinctive garam masala blend—individual chefs may also have their own. Goda masala is a comparable, though sweet, spice mix popular in Maharashtra. Some leaves commonly used for flavouring include bay leaves (tejpat), coriander leaves, fenugreek (methi) leaves, and mint leaves. The use of curry leaves and roots for flavouring is typical of Gujarati and South INDIAN FOOD.
