A Traveler's Food Diary - Agonda Beach, Goa

The Agonda beach at South Goa is a study in contrast to most of the other beaches in Goa. Quiet and peaceful, it offers a great opportunity to rejuvenate in its serenity. We stayed in Hangout Agonda, a set of cottages right at the northern end of the beach. Our beach hut was right on the sand with a full view of the beach.

Cafe Birian - Awadhi & Hyderabadi Biryani

Cafe Birian attributes its name to the Parsi word 'Birian', from which, the word 'Biryani' has been derived. Birian essentially means 'to fry before cooking', which has given rise to the Dum Style cooking, prevalent even now. Though Biryani is said to have originated in Arabia, the Nawabs of Lucknow and Nizams of Hyderabad have adapted the dish in their own styles thus giving rise to the flavorful Awadhi and spicy Hyderabadi biryani.
