The term itself is of Indian origin and seems to have derived from the Hindustani\u00a0<i>biryani<\/i>.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"x1e56ztr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u\" style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The dish is evidently an old one, for Abul Fazl in his 16th century treatise on Moghul polity, Ain-I-Akbari gives\u00a0<i>biryan\u00a0<\/i>as a meat dish made from sheep with ghee and spices such as saffron, pepper and cuminseed. He also mentions a rice dish known as\u00a0<i>Duzdbiryan\u00a0<\/i>made of rice, meat and ghee. In later times, by the early part of the nineteenth century or before,\u00a0<i>biryani\u00a0<\/i>had come to refer to a specific rice dish. Juffur Shurreef in his Qanoon-e-Islam or the Customs of the Moosulmans of India (1832) refers to\u00a0<i>Birreeanee\u00a0<\/i>as comprising of a dish of boiled rice scattered over fried meat which is then sprinkled over with onions and spices with a little ghee then poured on to it. The term\u00a0<i>biryan\u00a0<\/i>from which\u00a0<i>biryani\u00a0<\/i>derives is a Persian loan in Hindustani literally meaning \u2018fried, roasted, broiled, parched, grilled\u2019.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"x1e56ztr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u\" style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Buriyani is usually made with fragrant b\u0101smati rice cooked in ghee with meat (usually beef or chicken) and potatoes, spiced with various condiments, scented with rose water and coloured yellow with colouring. It may also be embellished with green peas, cashew nuts and raisins. Accompaniments or side dishes include roasted chicken or chicken curry, an assorted curry made of liver, carrot, peas and cashew nuts, a date and onion pickle known as\u00a0<i>acchar\u00a0<\/i>and a mint sambol made of mint leaves, green chillies, scraped coconut, garlic and ginger, all ground together to form a thick paste known as\u00a0<i>puduna samba<\/i>l. Also commonly consumed with the buriyani are slices of pineapple which gives zest and helps in the digestion of this heavy meal. The buriyani served at important functions such as weddings are generally partaken from a\u00a0<i>sahan\u00a0<\/i>or\u00a0<i>savan<\/i>, a large metal platter, by a group of six seated around it.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"x1e56ztr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u\" style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The dish appears to be a relatively recent introduction from the subcontinent. The first to mention it seems to be Elsie Cook in her book A Geography of Ceylon (1931). She says \u201cTheir mode of cooking rice, with sultanas and fat, making a dish called\u00a0<i>burriana<\/i>, has become characteristic in Ceylon\u201d. In an earlier notice, an advertisement placed by Kamal Pasha Hotel of Maradana in 1923 and published in The Crescent magazine of October1923 we read of \u2018buriyani rice\u2019 and \u2018fried fowls\u2019 being offered by the hotel, suggesting that the dish would have been introduced from India for commercial purposes and that it was only later that it gained currency as a domestic dish.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"x1e56ztr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u\" style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><b>KALIVIRUNDU SORU<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"x1e56ztr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u\" style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">In the olden days, until about the 1930s or thereabouts, it was not buriyani that was the common festive meal, but rather what was known as\u00a0<i>Kalivirundu Soru<\/i>, a rice dish prepared with ghee and various condiments such as cinnamon and embellished with pieces of pineapple, cashewnuts and raisins.

Its traditional accompaniment is mashi sambal, a blackish sambol prepared by frying separately in coconut oil red onions, maldive fish, green chillies, pandanus and curry leaves and adding to it powdered chilli, lime juice and salt before mixing it well. Some Eastern Moor folk are also in the habit of pouring over boiled rice freshly heated liquid ghee obtained from the cow (<i>pasu nei<\/i>) or buffalo (<i>eruma nei<\/i>).
