What goes inside a Biryani?

1. Cardamom

2. Cinnamon

3. Bay Leaves

4. Mace

5. Nutmeg

6. Cloves

7. Pepper

8. Coriander

9. Onion

To put an icing and rich taste to the elegant flavor, "Saffron" is a must.

For carnivorous eaters, the key flesh in a Biryani may be made up of Chicken, Mutton (Goat), Lamb, Shrimp, Fish or even Eggs. 

For herbivorous eaters, the Biryani may include vegetables such as peas, carrot, paneer (cottage cheese), nutri-nudgets. To be frank, Biryanis are not meant for vegetarians. The vegetarian Biryani recipes are simply a workaround for Vegetarians to give company to Non-vegetarian Biryani lovers.
