Are you curious about the origins of two popular Middle Eastern snacks? Let's take a closer look! Falafel, a delicious fried ball made from fava beans, is said to have originated in Egypt but some believe it may have roots in India. Known as ta'amiya in Egypt, this dish has been a staple for centuries among Jewish communities in Egypt and Syria.

Another savory treat that is believed to have emerged in the Middle East is the samosa. Historical accounts suggest that samosas can be traced back to the 10th century. The Iranian historian Abolfazl Beyhaqi first mentioned these delectable pockets in his work, Tarikh-e Beyhaghi, calling them 'Sambosa'. From there, the samosa has become a beloved snack throughout the world, with various regional twists and adaptations...!

Long time myth comes to an end... 😯

Did you know that biryani is not originally an Indian dish? It was introduced to India by Muslim invaders from Persia, and over time, became a popular delicacy throughout the country thanks to the Mughals. The dish has a rich history, with references to a similar rice dish called "Oon Soru" dating back to 2 A.D in Tamil history. Regardless of its origins, biryani has become a beloved and mouth-watering dish enjoyed by people all over the world.

It's amazing how biryani has evolved over the centuries, with countless variations and styles to satisfy every palate. And we have Culture Colombo to thank for introducing this flavorful Persian dish to our plates! From the aromatic spices to the tender meat and fluffy rice, biryani is a true delight for the senses. So next time you indulge in this beloved dish, take a moment to appreciate its rich history and the many delicious ways it can be enjoyed... ❤️
