About
Egg Biryani is a non-veg North Indian dish. It is Not Fried and is prepared by layering fragrant basmati rice with aromatic spices, sautéed vegetables, and boiled eggs. The dish typically features hard-boiled eggs that are lightly seasoned or briefly pan-tossed to enhance flavor, then nestled within spiced rice cooked with onions, tomatoes, ginger-garlic, herbs, and biryani masala. The eggs add richness and protein, making the biryani wholesome and satisfying even without meat. The slow-cooking or dum method allows the spices, herbs, and rice to blend beautifully, giving the dish a deep aroma and bold taste. Egg biryani is often served with raita, salad, or a light gravy.
