What Goes Into It
Per serving (1 plate)
gastroenterology Gut Health Insight
This biryani has a decent amount of fibre from onion, tomato, and the whole spices, so it’s not just empty rice — it can slow digestion a bit and keep you fuller for longer. Ginger, garlic, black pepper, cloves, and zeera may also help with digestion and reduce that heavy feeling after a rich meal. The curd and milk add a little soothing touch for the stomach, especially with the chilli and masala. Practical tip: pair it with onion-cucumber salad or raita, because that extra water and fibre can make the meal easier on the gut.
