NUTRITION FACTS OF HYDERABADI LAMB BIRYANI
Lamb Biryani is a favorite dish of Indo-Pak Muslims. Unfortunately there is no nutrition information available for Lamb Biryani. The purpose of this article is to educate Muslims about its high fat and cholesterol content so that Muslims can modify their diet to remained healthy.
For this purpose all the ingredients were weighed on a sophisticated gram scale.
A Hyderabadi Deccan recipe and a particular serving size was used as a basis on the nutrition facts. The serving size may be vary from individual to individual. But this nutrition facts will give a general idea about the calories content, fat and cholesterol amount per serving.
These nutritional facts were obtained from data based ingredients rather than actual lab analysis.
The following are some scientific facts about the Biryani:
1. This Biryani recipe loosed about 10.5% of its weight after bake in the form of water which comes from the lamb meat from 60% in raw to 53.7% in Biryani. The sour cream loosed moisture from 71% to 0%. The moisture in milk loosed 87% of its moisture content.
2. Basmati rice with its 5% moisture absorbed an additional 60% moisture when boiled. The weight gain of Basmati rice was 2.16% from its original weight. When boiled, the gelatinization of Basmati rice occurs from the outside toward center of the rice grain. Since outside Basmati rice is gelatinized first, due to continues cooking, the Amylose(water soluble part of starch granule) leached out to cooking water which is equal to 6% of the weight of uncooked Basmati rice(obtained by drying starch and water). At the end of cooking process still a small portion of grain at the center remained uncooked. During baking process of Biryani, the uncooked portion of Basmati rice is cooked by the transferring of moisture from the outer portion of rice grain.
3. In a one to one lamb meat to rice ratio, the meat portion of cooked Biryani is 25% to 28% in a 500 grams serving size(lamb meat 140 grams, other ingredients 360 grams).
All nutrition data mentioned in the table was incorporated into Genesis research & development nutritional labeling and formulation software of Esha Research Inc. Salem, OR(majority of US food companies used this software for their nutritional labeling).
