When I was 15 years old, I attended a birthday ceremony in Chennai. They served a delicious biryani for lunch, which is my absolute favorite food. I remember having a particularly spicy and flavorful Hyderabadi biryani. It was amazing! From that day on, I decided I wanted to learn how to cook biryani myself. I developed a dream to create my own version of this dish that I loved so much. Over time, I started to learn how to prepare food for myself, but I didn't know the exact techniques for cooking biryani. I began researching online, watching videos on YouTube and Instagram, and even seeking advice from experienced cooks. I also reached out to a friend's father, who was a chef, and asked him for tips on how to make biryani. He shared some valuable insights and guidance. After a while, I attempted to cook biryani using the tips I had gathered. Unfortunately, the result wasn't what I had hoped for. I made a mistake by overcooking the rice, which we call 'inut' in my language. It was a huge disappointment for me. The biryani didn't turn out the way I expected, and I felt discouraged. I was so frustrated that I stopped trying to cook biryani for a while and even changed my eating habits.
