Indeed, it’s royal-looking yet easy to pull off. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t super excited to share my desi-licious South Asian fish biryani.
Isn’t it perfect to start holiday celebrations?
This biryani recipe is such an elegant (and tasty!) creation – perfect for a large party or special, cozy family dinner. It also doesn’t require overnight soaking of any kind and is exquisitely seasoned! Just over an hour, and your sumptuous fish biryani is set to make its debut.
What Does Biryani Taste Like?
In short, it tastes heavenly. Biryani is a vibrant and flavourful Indian recipe. Typically Basmati rice is flavoured with exotic spices and then layered with either meat, poultry, fish, or vegetables – cooked in and a thick masala sauce. The dish is covered, and the biryani is either cooked over a low flame on in the oven.
There are many variations of the recipe, from ingredients used to the style of preparation. For instance, depending on the South Asian region, a biryani recipe may call for the lid to be secured with dough to help seal in the
flavours.

Baingan Bharta (Indian Eggplant) | Healthy Ethnic Food Recipes
Easy, quick to prep and scrumptious. This Baingan Bharta (Indian Eggplant) is a sure pleaser for the entire family. Roasted eggplant cooked in aromatic South Asian spices, simmered in a thick tomato-pepper sauce and garnished with tangy lemon and cilantro. If you’re on the hunt for healthy desi recipes – with less oil, spices, and salt – this is it! Best enjoyed with roti, quinoa, or lettuce leaves. Vegan and gluten-free.
a bowl of baingan bharta topped with olives and chilli with lettuce leaves filled with baingan bharta (Indian eggplant recipe) withlettuce leaves filled with baingan bharta (Indian eggplant recipe) with lettuce leaves filled with bharta in the background
Baingan Bharta is one of our favorite South Asian recipes. It’s made by roasting eggplants until very soft. The skin is removed and the flesh is cooked with tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, and spices. A delicious roasted eggplant dish, that is simple and doesn’t use too many spices, salt or oil – perfect for family meals!
Is Baingan Bharta Healthy?
Eggplant, also known as aubergine, or Brinjal in Urdu, is a good source of soluble fiber; which can help to slow gastric emptying. This delays the absorption of sugar in your blood – thereby supporting blood sugar control. Being a non-starchy vegetable, eggplant is low in carbohydrates; one eggplant provides under 100 calories, less than 1 gram of fat, approximately 20 grams of carbohydrate (less than two slices of bread), a whopping 12.5 grams of fiber and about 4 g of protein. Eggplant also is cholesterol-free, contains almost no sodium, and ranks as a low glycemic food. You’ll notice that it has a tendency to soak up oil, so I love cooking it baigan bharta style – allowing you to be conservative with oil – without compromising on taste! Plus, with the addition of heaps of tomatoes and peppers and serve it with greens, makes this baingan bharta – nutrient-packed!
Is An Eggplant A Fruit Or Vegetable?
You may be surprised to hear that eggplant is actually a fruit. More specifically – a berry! Available all year round, it actually peaks between August-September.
