Thanks Saregama! That’s great to know! One can always learn something new here every day.
That leads to a follow up question. What do the cooks typically do with the pits after cooking the gravy? I would have thought that I would see the pits more often given the prevalence of this cooking technique.
@NotDoobieWah, its a Hyderabadi place so it is fairly South. Though I recall someone saying biryani is a dish that originated from Iran and imported into India over time. So having some Persian influence seems to make sense.
