How many of you eat Salan with your biryani? I don’t but know of a lot of people who do. Can’t understand this as there is Salan in biryani.

Having a friends over later for lunch, going to make biryani and have kebabs of some sort and raita and salad. Do I need to make a Salan as well?

Re: Salan with biryani

Your menu is fine. If a biryani needs salan then it isn’t a good biryani. I only see salan when it’s a two dish option with biryani and one salan and roti.

Re: Salan with biryani

Biryani is so richly flavored in and of itself that I don 't like to add salan on top of it. I prefer to taste the dishes seperately.

Also, I like salan with roti instead of rice.

Depends on how bad the biryani is.

^ This.. Lol
I don’t like any kind of salan with biryani. But yes I eat salan specially karahi or palak with pulao.

Biryani does not need to be bad to be eaten with salan. A good salan, like qorma or achari gosht, just adds another layer of flavor, and many people like that.

Re: Salan with biryani

I don’t like to mix my dishes at alllll…I find it takes away from their individuality

Re: Salan with biryani

Re: Salan with biryani

Biryani doesn’t require salan it already has a salan in the oayers and I imagine a salan over the top would ruin the biryani taste. I am making biryani tomorrow but also kofta salan to eat with roti for anyone wanting roti. Your menu is fine Unless you know someone doesn’t like rice but who doesn’t like biryani!!!

Re: Salan with biryani

And I’ve seen people eat haleem with roti/naan which doesn’t make sense 'cuz haleem is meant to be eaten by itself with a spoon (in my opinion) :snooty:

Re: Salan with biryani

Bhagaray baingan & mirchi’on ka salan are traditional accompaniments to biryani in hyderabadi menus…but these are more like an relish, not poured over biryani like a runny salan over rice lol.

I see nothing wrong with it :snooty:
