Biryani, delicately flavored rice cooked with meat. Yes traditionally biryani was made with only meat. The vegetarian version was developed much later for the vegetarians to enjoy this delicacy. The process is very much the Same, vegetables are marinated in curd and spices and the rice is boiled with flavorful spices. Both of them are layered together and cooked on low heat once again.
