This dish is from the era of Nawabs and Mughal rule in India.It is said that Biryani came to India along with the Persian invaders .In Lukhnow ,the Biryani at first was not at all a Royal or Shahi dish.The construction workers who worked for the palace used to prepare this wholesome meal by cooking meat and rice will all the spices together and smelling its beautiful aroma the Nawab ordered his Royal chefs to make this recipe a part of the Royal kitchen .
The Shahi Moti biryani is a creative endeavour of the Nawab Wajid Ali Shah who was the fifth King of Oudh.The original Moti biryani consisted of edible pearls made of eggs and gold and silver foils.They looked like gold and silver balls stuffed inside the Mutton grilled and cooked with rice.But this has become a lost recipe and a later version consisted of meat koftas cooked with rice.
