Talk:Biryani

List just states lamb, which a young sheep. While that is normally true in Western countries, in the Indian subcontinent countries mutton is also often used, which is an older sheep. This needs including in the list of meats, but the page is currently locked. So could someone able to edit the page add in this info, thanks 2A00:23C6:279B:1D01:40C:8035:7A58:3ED7 (talk) 23:24, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

It's an Indian dish. That should be mentioned first. 59.96.237.151 (talk) 16:03, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

The word biryani can also be derived from the word "Vrinj" in Sanskrit meaning rice. Please add that 2409:40F4:3007:1E13:8000:0:0:0 (talk) 12:06, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Oxford source does not say Biryani means rice - Oxford source says Biryani means fried;

Origin: Urdu, from Persian biryāni, from biriyān 'fried, grilled'

:That is already mentioned under Etymology. Lectonar (talk) 14:25, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

"In biryani, meat (and vegetables, if present) and rice are cooked separately before being layered and cooked together for the gravy to absorb into the rice. Pulao is a single-pot dish: meat (or vegetables) and rice are cooked separately and they are not mixed [...]"

This makes no sense. If Pulao is "meat or vegetables and rice are cooked separately", we would not call it a "single pot dish." In English, a "single pot dish" refers to one where all ingredients are added to a pot and cooked. I will allow some time for someone from this culture to either clarify or edit the article. I'm not sure what I would edit to, but as it stands, it makes no sense. Mercster (talk) 01:57, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
