About Plain biryani

Plain Biryani is a fragrant rice dish originating from South Asian cuisine, particularly popular in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. This flavorful recipe combines basmati rice with aromatic spices like cumin, cloves, and cardamom, often cooked in clarified butter or oil. Common additions include onions, garlic, and ginger for extra depth of flavor. Unlike meat or vegetable biryanis, plain biryani typically does not include protein or vegetables, making it lighter but less nutritionally complete. The dish is rich in carbohydrates and offers a good energy source, while the spices provide antioxidants and digestion benefits. However, the use of ghee or oil can contribute to higher fat content, and its nutritional balance depends on accompanying dishes. Plain biryani is often paired with yogurt-based raita or salads to enhance its healthfulness and complement the flavors.
