Moti Biryani:(Mughalai Style)

Pearl Biryani, Moti Biryani, Moti Pilaf, Pearl Pilaf. Awadh or Lucnowi Biryani.

Its quite hard for me to define what exactly is ‘Mughali Cuisine’. The The Timurid mongols revolutionized Indian cuisine! The Muslim invaders like Turks, Arabs, Persians and Afghans introduced feasting culture to India.
India’s finest cuisine developed from, the 15th Century to about 19th Century. In the courts of Mughal Emperors, who raised cooking to an art form. Introduced several recipes to India like Biriyani, Pilaf and Kebabs. Today in all parts of India and beyod it is offered as the Countries Royal dish.

Awadh (historically important place…right from Hindu kingdom of Kosalas, Mughals and British raj)) now better known as Lucknow, capital of Uttar Pradesh. Awadhi cooking style is greatly influenced by Mughals much like Hyderbad, Arcot, Kashmir and Delhi.

I don’t have to highlight that Mughalai cuisine is known for richness, effort, delicasies..
