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.

We like

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

Those types of places have a reputation, bhai, cultivated over generations.

Doc sb is the one to ask about Irani/Parsi food in India.

I used to order a lot, sali chicken / boti and some other stuff, berries wala pulao.

mast food, man.. zabardast, rest we have something called a behrouz biryani, might've mentioned earlier, Irani inspired.. very nice, not sure how authentic though.

My fav food is middil eastrun/israeli, grill, no too much mirch masala tel.. just perfect, light.

Behrouz gave me food poisoning this New Year's eve.

Wife and kids saying dada you drank too much. Wife grumbling he can't tolerate it now. Yada yada.

Next night I hear her retching and puking in the bathroom.

After the perfunctory are you ok's, my look to her was priceless.

Old couples can say a lot without saying anything. Lol

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

It has really picked up steam since last few years. It was a bit dormant before.
