Is there an occasion where it would be inappropriate to serve biryani? I can’t think of one. For my Pakistani family, and for many people from South Asia, the slow-cooked mix of rice, meat or vegetables, and spices, is the default dish for social gatherings, ideal for making in vast quantities. Formal or informal, happy or sad: whatever the event, biryani always hits the spot.
