Biriyani is a traditional celebration meal made using meat and rice and is a staple of Hyderabadi cuisine. This version of the biriyani is very popular as it is comes from the city of Hyderabad, India. The blending of Mughlai and Telangana cuisines in the kitchens of the Nizam, ruler of the historic Hyderabad State, resulted in the creation of Hyderabadi Biryani.
