Bagara khana or bagara rice or bagara chawal or bagara annam
is a Hydrabadi delicacy, cooked in aromatic spices. It is a very popular dish
in Hyderabad functions.
Begara khana is ideal for those who like to experience
biriyani without meat and vegetables. The caraway seeds give a flavour similar
to biriyani, it can be called a mock biriyani. It goes very well with spicy
vegetable curries and also non-veg curries.
When I prepared this dish for the first time, I was very
confused and really scared whether my kids like this or not. But
surprisingly, we got a delicious, flavorful dish. My family enjoyed very much. I
am so glad to share this with you. Try this; this will be a real surprise for
your family.
