<holidayfyi-glossary slug="biryani-festive"></holidayfyi-glossary>An aromatic layered rice dish of South Asian origin, cooked with marinated meat, whole spices, saffron, and caramelised onions, that holds a central place in Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha celebrations across the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, and their diaspora communities worldwide. Festive biryani prepared for Eid differs from everyday versions in its scale and quality, often cooked in large communal pots (deghs) for gatherings of dozens, with its fragrance and abundance signalling the joyful end of Ramadan's fasting.
