Biryani (/bɜːrˈjɑːni/) is a mixed rice dish originating in South Asia, traditionally made with rice, meat (chicken, goat, lamb, beef) or seafood (prawns or fish), and spices.

Biryani is one of the most popular dishes in South Asia and among the South Asian diaspora, though the dish is often associated with the region's Muslim population in particular.[1] Regional variations exist, such as regarding the addition of eggs and/or potatoes, as well as religious ones, such as the replacement of meat with paneer or vegetables by vegetarians.[2] Similar dishes are also prepared in many other countries like Iraq and Malaysia, and was often spread to such places by South Asian diaspora populations.[3][4] Biryani is the single most-ordered dish on Indian online food ordering and delivery services, and has been described as the most popular dish in India.[5][6]
