Biryani is known for its aroma and flavour. Fresh herbs, saffron, and basmati rice give it a sweet-floral aroma that hits the nose before you taste it. Whole garam masala, fried onions, and marinated meat provide warmth and subtle heat to the dish. Overall, it tastes like a savoury, spiced rice pilaf.
