Bhajjiya
(also known as Pakora in Hindi) is a spicy Indian snack consisting of fried
onions and other vegetables, similar to potato fritters, for which there are
many different recipes. It is usually used as a topping on various Indian meals
but has now become popular to eat alone as a snack.
The basic recipes consist of onions being chopped and then made into a
sort of dough with rice and gram flour, spices, and sometimes with herbs, then
fried until golden.
Biryani
is a
set of rice-based foods made with spices, rice and meat, fish, eggs or
vegetables. The name is derived from the Persian word beryā(n)
which means "fried" or "roasted".
Biryani was brought to the Indian Subcontinent by Muslim travelers and
merchants.
The difference between biryani and pullao is that while pullao may be made by
cooking the items together, biryani is a dish where the rice is cooked
separately. The curry and the rice
are then brought together and layered resulting in a dish of the contrasting
flavors of unflavored rice and intensely flavored sauce and meat or vegetables.
You can order your biryani mild or spicy, as you like.
Baingan ka bharta
is the hindi name of a popular eggplant dish.
The dish has many names, depending on the local language.
It is often eaten with an Indian
flatbread, and is also served with rice, and/or raita(a yoghurt salad).
