If you spend enough time on the Internet, you may have definitely seen the video of a Pakistani contestant bringing biryani from a local eatery for judges on the Pakistan cooking show `The Kitchen Master`. Interestingly, it is known that one has to cook and bring their own food on the show but somehow that seems to have eluded the contestant`s understanding but at least managed to get many laughs. While it is debatable about the whole scene being staged, the judges were visibly shocked. Even then, the clip shows that the woman doesn’t budge and believes she should definitely get a chance, especially after all the effort she has put into bringing it on the show.

For every person this writer has spoken to about the dish, eating biryani has always been considered a celebration and making it is nothing short of a unique experience. The wafting aroma of which is not only enjoyed from the first to the last part while cooking it but also while consuming it with family and friends. An emotion that immediately transports one to the biryani characteristically described in British chef Asma Khan’s episode on Chef’s Table Season 6. Unfortunately, most people rely on ordering it to make life easier. The reasons may vary from lack of time to being lazy or simply not knowing how to make it but many may agree that home-cooked food is the best. Interestingly, chefs and lovers of the dish agree but say there are quite a few misconceptions about the flavourful dish that boasts of many different variations in India.
