South Asia Iranian tourists were heckled by Hindutva when they mistakenly offered Namaz in a shrine near east gate of Taj Mahal

fair critique, but when it cpmes to biriyanis, the Lucknowi school wins on being mild, light and fragrant, not high on spices at all.

Hyderabad is another story.. the other 2 "Schools" of biriyani don't even bear mention, Malabari and Tamild to alg hi cheez hai, rice bhi unko alag phat red one,,, deelish as they are. Kerala shrimp and meat waali try karo kisi din.. haanth chaat-tey reh jaoge bc.. zabardast

but original biriyani is UP, mostly white rice with some saffron wala grains... very nice.

Bro you need to try our Uzbek Pilaf one day. It'll be a culinary experience for you. Our cuisine is a bit subtle. I am not sure if there are any authentic Uzbek food places in India.

I think sardars are a serious concern.

Another thing I have noticed. There's a very huge ane renewed movement here in Pakistani Punjab too, renewed relationships with Sikhs on shared Punjabi bonds, Punjabi language and culture. Never used to see any kinda Punjabi ethnic Nationalism in Pak until now. Maybe it's another game by our Establishment.

I actually have a sardar friend (Bullet boy ... ) in Poona who once told me smirking conspirationally that hamare liye to accha hi hai. Agar yahan (Hinduon ke saath) nahin to wahan (Musalmano ke saath).

They do not like Modi and BJP and the Sangh sure.

But I think their disillusionment is more with Hindus increasingly, especially in the toxic Hindutva environment of the past decade. That as I said has both rubbed salt into their domestic wounds (state, drugs in youth, mass conversions to Christianity), especially against zero industry in the state (largely their own doing), falling agricultural revenue, rich land owning class as you rightly said moving into Khalistani orbits in the west, and large out of state migrations into the state as labour.

Of course they have their historical baggage of Operation Bluestar and Delhi riots. The rift with the Hindus and the resentment at not having their own laws like other minorities, but lumped under Hindu act. And the recent Farmer agitation was more a bursting forth of a lot of this, against the backdrop of the crony capitalism of Adani and Ambani ball cuddling of Modi in the guise of the Farm Laws.

I've seen Punjabis from across the fence meet and greet, same hi hai, this mazhab thing minimize bhi ho jaata hai in shared spaces like a celebration/wedding etc

but Pak has always been dominated by the Punjabis, the fauj, the polity, whole thing...

chalda rehta intergroup this that, its ok only

Haan the concept of gosht dum pulao as a one dish is a central asian thing, not really an Iranian thing. Irani's always cook meat and rice separate, not like us or Uzbeki or Afghani.

And the word biryan means fried gosht bhai. Its actually a kabab type patty of various Lamb cuts in particular the lungs ground up with the shoulder and fried up in saffron and slivered almonds. No rice bhai.

Hur cheez ka naam chori kar liya hae iraandion say aur apnay matlab key bana lee hain, with nothing in common with the original......lol

This is the real biryani, a dish from Isfahaandd bhai:

True, Irani food is very different to ours. They are big meat eaters though and pretty lavish on the presentation.

Some of their dishes are just out of this world good:



I was watching a roundup of the Irani cafes in Bombay and their prices have shot thru da roof bhai. Plate of barberry polao is like Rs1500 to Rs2000 at Brittanica and Kiyani's outlets. So much inflation. Qeema platter is Rs1200.....lol
