Enough about biryani, let’s talk about why and how veg biryani is completely different and more tasteful than a pulao.
Cooking Philosophy
Many parallels can be drawn when discussing the origin of vegetables dum biryani and pulao. The contrast between the two is a lot and that cannot be overlooked at all. Though, many things resemble about pulao with North Indian cuisine-rice prepared in whole spices and lots of vegetables. On the other hand, a veg dum biryani is an Indian cuisine which is brought during the Mughal-era decades ago. The veg biryani is primarily a classy vessel full of rice, vegetables, and whatever is available. It is mainly buried in a hot pit which is dug up and served in ‘dum’ style.
Veg Biryani is not Pulao
While both the dishes have a common main ingredient-rice, calling each other a similar dish will be equal to a food crime for biryani lovers. Originally, pulao also known as Pilaf is considered to be derived from the Sanskrit word ‘pulaka’ or ‘pulla’ which means a mixture of rice & vegetables. Many researchers believe that the dish originated in India, however, it goes way back to Central Asia. On the other side, the speculation about the veg biryani recipe originates in Persia but migrated to India via Mughal. Well, it is definite that Mughals’ cuisine is mouth-watering and completely amazing, they gradually shaped the Indian heritage by incorporating veg dum biryani recipe.
Usage of Spices
The vegetable biryani recipe is humbled with spices and a unique method of preparation with lots of ingredients. Spices act as a backbone when it comes to veg biryani, as it brings in the foundation of the whole complex with the biryani. It is an essential part of the preparation of a vibrant dish that adds strong flavors. Perhaps you might have a different touch with the flavors of spices, you will probably find the taste of every biryani a bit different because it differentiates region-wise. Lucknow and Hyderabadi biryani are world-famous and both are delicious yet different. Using flavorings and seasonings is a binding factor when it comes to veg biryani, unlike pulao.
