You may&nbsp;already&nbsp;be familiar with&nbsp;variants like the Hyderabadi biryani&nbsp;famously prepared&nbsp;in&nbsp;the Dum method&nbsp;or the&nbsp;Awadhi or&nbsp;Lucknawi&nbsp;biryani from the royal state of Lucknow.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Interestingly, the word biryani is derived from the Persian words&nbsp;Biriyan&nbsp;and&nbsp;Birinj, meaning &lsquo;fried before cooking&rsquo; and &lsquo;rice&rsquo; respectively.&nbsp;There are many origin stories of this&nbsp;rice and&nbsp;meat-based&nbsp;dish&nbsp;and people often argue how&nbsp;exactly&nbsp;it&nbsp;came to be so popular in India.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Some believe that Timur, a Turk Mongol ruler, brought the precursor to this dish when he came to India in 1398.&nbsp;Another&nbsp;story says&nbsp;that biryani took the Maritime route and&nbsp;entered India from the Malabar coast as some Tamil literature references a popular rice-based dish called Oon&nbsp;Soru&nbsp;in 2 AD.&nbsp;And the&nbsp;most popular&nbsp;legend&nbsp;credits Mughal emperor Shah Jahan&rsquo;s begum Mumtaz Mahal,&nbsp;for coming up with a rice and meat dish&nbsp;in the 1600s&nbsp;to feed&nbsp;the starving and malnourished army.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Whether you believe in one story or all of them, the numerous origins means that there are plenty of hyperlocal biryanis&nbsp;relished&nbsp;all over the country, each with their own&nbsp;technique, ingredients and spices.&nbsp;

Let&rsquo;s look at some of these local&nbsp;biryanis&nbsp;that every biryani lover should try!&nbsp;
<h3>Calcutta Biryani&nbsp;</h3>
Believed to be the brainchild of a famous gourmet who was banished by the British, the Calcutta Biryani is prepared&nbsp;with&nbsp;much milder spices and has&nbsp;a tinge of sweetness. The biryani centrally features potatoes, signifying the&nbsp;erstwhile budget&nbsp;constraints&nbsp;of the banished chef.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3>Tahari Biryani&nbsp;&nbsp;</h3>
A biryani cooked without meat? Yes, the Tehari or Tahari biryani is made with lots of vegetables. According to fables, this historic biryani was devised to adapt and suit to the local palettes of&nbsp;vegetarian bookkeepers in Mysore&rsquo;s Mughal court.&nbsp;
<h3>Thalassery&nbsp;Biryani&nbsp;&nbsp;</h3>
Possibly&nbsp;developed after&nbsp;Arab seafarers&nbsp;introduced biryani to the Malabar&nbsp;coast, the&nbsp;Thalassery&nbsp;Biryani&nbsp;is made with chicken wings, mild Malabar spices and&nbsp;a type of rice called&nbsp;kaima. Fried cashew nuts, sultana raisins and fennel seeds are&nbsp;used to&nbsp;finish&nbsp;off this biryani.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3>Ambur Biryani&nbsp;</h3>
Prepared with a South Indian twist, the Ambur biryani traces its history to the Nawabs of Arcot in the Ambur town of Tamil Nadu.&nbsp;The Ambur and Arcot biryani are closely related and are served with a brinjal curry and&nbsp;a&nbsp;pachadi&nbsp;raita on the side.&nbsp;&nbsp;

There are two variants&nbsp;of this spice - Cassia and Ceylon. Cassia is more commonly used and it tastes stronger and hotter than Ceylon.
Apart from adding mouth-watering&nbsp;flavour, cinnamon also has several health benefits which you must know about!
