What is Raan Biryani that Arshad Warsi prepared for his Jhalak Dikhla Jaa co-judges

There is nothing like homemade food, as it is soul-satiating and healthy and this is why people vouch for it. In recent times, several celebrities have taken to their social media handles to share their homemade meals. Recently, Farah Khan Kunder shared a video on her Instagram handle, which displays Behind The Scenes (BTS) of season 11 of the dance-based reality show Jhalak Dikhla Jaa where she, along with her two co-judges Malaika Arora and Arshad Warsi are seen relishing the delicious food.The video has been seen by more than 1 million people and 1 lakh likes.

The video starts with Farah speaking about Jhalak Ki Dawat and disclosing that she has got Vadi and Baingan Fry from her home, while the chef of the day is Arshad Warsi, who has got Raan Biryani from his house. While Malaika blows kisses to Arshad in her own style, Farah gives the phone to Malaika and jumps in to take a plate for eating food. While Malaika playfully questions Farah about her manners of asking somebody else before jumping straight for the food, Farah answers ‘Sorry’ and serves Biryani for herself as it’s “too good” to resist.
Praising the Biryani, Farah goes on to add that there is Anda and Aloo in it, while Arshad adds that there is meat too! Later, Farah asks Malaika to stop it, and eat the food.

What is Raan Biryani?Raan Biryani is a regal dish that originated in the royal kitchens of North India. The star of this Biryani is the raan, a leg of lamb marinated in a rich blend of yoghurt, spices, and herbs. The marinated raan is then slow-cooked to perfection, resulting in tender, flavourful meat that effortlessly falls off the bone.
How is it different from Mutton Biryani?
The primary distinction lies in the choice of meat. Raan Biryani exclusively features the leg of lamb, emphasising the succulence and unique taste of this specific cut. This Biryani involves an intricate marination process, allowing the flavours to penetrate the meat deeply. The slow-cooking technique further enhances the tenderness, creating a melt-in-the-mouth experience. While Mutton Biryani relies on a medley of bone-in mutton pieces, Raan Biryani's flavour profile is intensified by the richness of the leg of lamb. The marination imparts a royal and aromatic essence, making it a grander culinary affair. Raan Biryani is often presented with the leg of lamb positioned prominently on a bed of fragrant, long-grain basmati rice. The visual appeal of the dish adds to its regal charm, making it a centrepiece for festive occasions.
