Being a foodie person, I can say that there are variety of foods that I like. However, the most favorite of mine is chicken biryani. And I can say this is the favorite one because the aromatic taste of this is very delicious. And the method this biryani is cooked is fabulous. And you can say amazing method that is cooked along with rice and chicken masalas. And there are cloves and other ingredients like onions and capsicums which make it very aromatic in taste. This is the most shopped dish around in India. And I think this is the favorite dish of many people over here. Moreover, there are two types of biryani dishes available. One is called Hyderabadi Biryani which got its name from the city where it was first introduced. And other is Muradabadi Biryani. And the same thing happens with this biryani also. It is also named after the city where it started.

Well, I am glad to answer this question. This is because I'd classify myself as a quintessential foodie. So, if I were to talk about one of my favorite foods, I'd suppose I will go for rice. So, let me walk you through it. If my memory serves me well, it's a matter of nearly five years back when I learned the culinary skills from my mother. And moreover, I have a gifted hand in the cooking. And the reason why I love the rice most, this is because it's not only as easy to make it, but also it's one of the most mouth-watering, you know, dishes for me. And since it's quite easy to prepare, I love to make it every now and then. And moreover, it's quite popular in my country. And whenever our kids and kids are wasted, no function is supposed to be done without the use of rice. Oh, I nearly forgot to tell you that, that how this dish is made. Well, the ingredients are quite simple. We only need some vegetables, water, and as well as some salt. So, it's made within, you know, half an hour. Although it's not as healthy, but I can't help eating it because whenever I have this particular dish called rice, my mouth starts watering it. And as far as my feeling is concerned, I am, I fly literally high after eating this dish. And it has become my one of the favorite dishes these days. And I'm wholeheartedly thankful to my mother because had he not made me acquainted with these culinary skills, I would have been on edge because being a foodie, I love to eat it, you know, every time.

Well, the most comfort food or the most favorite food of mine is the chicken curry. Okay, why it is favorite because it is easy one which I can get it sooner and how it is prepared I just wanted to explain is that it has, it contains various varieties of spices and all. So, the thing is that this chicken that you prepare can be, you can be prepared in the various ways like you can add some veggies or you can go with the roti or you can go with the rice or you can just have a kind of starter as well. So this food can be taken in the various forms depending upon your cravings. So this is usually prepared in the various, in the various styles and in the various curries it will be prepared like starters or something like a gravy curry or into a biryani or in any phase. And earlier I was not a much fan of the chicken but later I understood the, you know, the protein content importance of it and how good it is for the body to develop as well. So slowly I try to, you know, cook it in the various forms and slowly I try to have it in the, in my lunch during basically while coming with the breakfast I try to have it in the form of, you know, boiled chicken so that it would be easy to digest as well. And one more thing I would like to add to this is that you can actually prepare this chicken in the various forms and it's easy to feed the kids as well when you use the minced chicken as well. Okay, kids usually show very less interest towards the veggies and so...

okay so the food I enjoy the most is none other than biryani because as biryani has high rich of masalas that as a South Indian we add more more rich masalas which enhances the taste of the biryani and so it is made using chicken, mutton chops or else even beef so it is a combination of rice, onions, chicken tomatoes and then little bit of ginger garlic paste and then chili powder and some spices which adds the taste of hot and sour and then lemon so these are the combinations we add in biryani and as for the sides we use curd and onion mixture right it's called as raita so it's a perfect meal to have the occasions and for the special parties we do take biryanis as an order and we eat them and when we eat them we feel so heavenly that feels that makes us nothing else gives that feel of eating biryani and why I love them I love biryani the most is because of its rich flavors as I had mentioned before its rich flavors still stays in my tongue now even when I'm talking to you now like the flavor and everything is just watering my mouth so yeah the only reason I love biryani is because of its rich flavors

Well, my favorite food is chicken, chicken curry, any type of chicken curry or else with biryani. So basically this chicken curry is, why it is my favorite because I am a person who loves non-veg. Maybe I will be someone who loves to eat non-veg for 24, maybe almost all days of a week. So that is something which I get from my childhood only because I used to have like at least a fish once a day. It was like that. That was how I raised. So how this chicken becomes my favorite it is because it is tender, the soft thing and I find that much tastier than any forms of non-veg and how it is prepared is, I like to marinate it for at least one day maximum to cook it next day so that chicken becomes very juicier. By saying that only my mouth is watering. So what are the spices I add is, I always marinate this with curd only, curd and some kinds of masalas and after that, maybe for half a day or after one day, this is very simple. I put it in cooker with onion, some spices and then with curry leaves and tomatoes and then without water.

My favorite food is Biryani. It is made from rice and some ingredients, spicy ingredients. It is very delicious for eating and this is very common and rare food in all over India. Especially this food came from Hyderabad. It is a very important dish for every occasion. Both youngsters and children and elders enjoy while eating this food. This food is a part of our culture and any kind of ceremony. Without this food, no ceremony or party will be completed. That's all.

This dish is very common in Assam or in the North-Eastern part of India. But outside here, this food is not very common and not match, aligning to their cultures. And this food is my favorite because this food has a smoky flavor. This food, this dish has a traditional touch in it. The Assamese people are very inclined towards dishes which have the rawness in their taste, which have the smokiness in their taste and which align to their traditions, their cultures and everything. So there are a lot of dishes in Assam or in the North-Eastern state which are prepared by smoking it, by roasting it or by having a smoky flavor in it. And this is exactly why I love Princhal Ka Bhatta or Baingan Ka Bhatta.

Actually, food is like a basic thing for a human being for leading a good life and it's an emotion for me. When I got a time to describe about my most favorite food, I go for Chinese cuisine and in Chinese cuisine, my most favorite dish is fried rice and it's like an emotion for me. When I went to a restaurant, I used to order fried rice and I tried different varieties of chicken with that particular fried rice. So the preparation of this fried rice is so simple. We just need to boil the rice first and after the complete cooking of this particular rice, we need to put that rice in a non-stick pan or something like that and we need to add some chopped vegetables like carrot, beans and if we need eggs, we can add and if we need some like veggies like spinach and all, we can add that or else we can add chicken then mix it very properly and then add some soy sauce and tomato sauce and we can gradually mix that and after two minutes of cooking and also we can add if we need spices like cardamom, I think it's basically like black pepper, black pepper powder we can be add and it's like a very good taste while we add these things to the particular dish. So the best combination of fried rice whenever I tried is like fried rice with dragon chicken and fried rice with chili chicken dry, it's the very best combination and I used to enjoy that a lot and also some other thing we can be tried with fried rice is like some North Indian dish like, no it's not actually pepper chicken, it's like butter chicken, it's a very rare combination so we can we can use that too with

I would consider myself a foodie. I like variety of foods, cuisines and I have tried a lot of them too like Mexican, Italian. I recently tried seafood as well but didn't quite like it because of the smell but life is all about trying new things and I stand by it. Still after all of these things, I would say my favorite food is homemade cooked by my mom because I've stayed away from home so much that I always miss it. There's nothing like having Rajma Chawal, Kadhi Chawal in the comfort of your home which my mom cooks with all her love in it and love with all her love within it. I was first in a boarding school and then I proceeded since fifth grade and then I proceeded to go to college which kept me away from home for very long which makes me love homemade food even more.

My favorite food item is chicken biryani. It is prepared in a big bowl and this needs rice and chicken and other ingredients like spices, onion and other etc. The smell is very aromatic. The spices are the key ingredients for this food item. It is not a common food item or neither a rare food item. We eat this food item once in two weeks. And this is famous worldwide. Many visitors come to Hyderabad. They feel very good while eating this. When other state people visit Hyderabad, they will mandatorily eat the biryani.
