That is one scenario. The other is most culinary unsavvy people chose this as opposed to tons of other food options within India and international cuisine. Most Indians are not adventurous when trying new cuisine.

 

PS - most of the golts from my college will try golt restaurants in USA on their day out I used to hangout with some refined golts mostly from Hyderabad and other Indians who venture out to other options.

One more thing. Swiggy is available everywhere. Fancy international cuisine is not available everywhere. Most of them are concentrated in posh loacales of Hyderabad (Banjara hills, IT corridor).
I stay a good 20 km away from those places. So I am forced to order only Indian cuisine from swiggy.
But I don't swiggy my biryani either. I prefer to travel on my own to old city to get one.

I used to eat meat 5 years ago, in My area there was Pakistani guy, take out only, best biryani I ever had, better than any Paradise biryani I had. Lahori / Mughlai Biryani beats Hyderbadi any day.

Paradise biryani is crap. I don't understand why it is so popular with visitors. [emoji849]

I mean was there any doubt  ? 

 

Here in Hyderabad , the first thing you'll see at weddings or any social gatherings in general is  Biryani. 

 

I personally eat it like once in a week with my office mates. We go to these places called Mandis which serve one of the best biryanis you'll ever have.

Hmmm...so far I had only mandi at those mandi places. Nowadays there is a mandi place popping up at the corner of every street.

Apparently it was always available in Barkas. Mandi is a Yemeni dish and you have many long time Yemeni settlers in Barkas. They made this popular in old city and it is now spread across the city.

I was talking about america. Even in america, Indians don't try out other food. I lived close to Dallas which obviously has a huge telugu population. They used to go to Pasand or Mayuri or other telugu establishments there. Any Dallas residents or ex residents can confirm

Both veggie & chicken Biryani taste very good...the best chicken Biryani I had was at a friend's sister's wedding in B'lore many moons ago...his first name was Syed ( Not kirmani..lol ) He was serving Biryani along with his other relatives to the wedding guests....I remember him serving me extra pieces of chicken...and he said.."you'll love it'.....it was so true...yummy...brings back some school memories in India. 

my opinion is you cant make biryani without meat,all else is a pulao.

I know exactly what you are talking about. I too spent 4 years in US. But I am not sure if it is a golt specific thing though.

Personally, I love to try different cuisines but I am little scared to try southeast Asian cuisine. Not a big fan of sea food either, so no sushi and stuff for me.

This is an indian specific thing not just golts. Most Indians in the USA are golts I believe. I have tried SE Asian food. Not a big fan because they add a lot of MSG for taste and making you full with less quantity. Its probably like India in the sense that outside food is not healthy to foreigners but they can tolerate homecooked food

Forget fine dining places in the city, you are unlikely to run into Indians even in casual dinning chains like olive garden, red lobster etc but India buffets are always packed

In fact Pulao in Pakistan/Afghanistan/Tashkand and in all other central asian countries has been made with meat.

 

It is little confusing for me to differentiate between Pulao and Biryani. 

 

It seems that in Pulao, you make Qorma of meat first, then add water in it to make Yakhni, and then finally put the rice in it. While in Biryani, you make the rice separately in plain water, and then layer it with the Qourma. 

 

Where are @beetle and @Mariyam

I don't know.

I really don't know. 

 

It seems to me that the spices of India taste differ than the Pakistani spices (for sure the same spices in the west taste totally different than Indian/Pakistan spices)

 

In West, you could buy ready made Masalas of Pakistani SHAN and National and Laziza. 

While Indian brands are somewhat like TRS, MDH, Priya, and few more. 

I also used Sri Lankan spices and they were different too than Pakistani/Indian spices. 

 

I used all of them, and I easily feel there is a difference in taste in the spices. 

 

Among Pakistani ready made spices, Shan is the most famous, but it is the worst. National brand tastes really good, but they use artificial flavour enhancers. The supreme spices are from Laziza, who are with only natural ingredients, but still taste unbelievably tasty.  

 

Food travellers like Mark Wiens visited Muslim areas of India to eat Biryani and Paya and Karahi. But when ate the same dishes in Pakistan, then he just became mad.
