Biryani is a perfect mix of basmati rice ,spices (mace, chillies, saffron, cardamom and a few more), meat ( goat ,lamb or chicken) , onions ,lemon among other ingredients. It's a special dish because of the intricacies involved in its preparation - meat marination for 10-12 hours before soaking it in yoghurt and sandwiching it between rice (which has a wonderful aroma of its own) in a handi ( deep vessel with narrow top) and cooked on wood or charcoal. The taste, fragrance and detail to perfectly cooked meat is what makes it an irresistible dish.
