The main difference between Burmese biryani and the biryani you are probably used to eating at Indian takeout isn't that apparent as the dish originates from Persians. The name given in Burmese to biryani in Myanmar is "danbauk" which is an almost direct translation from the Persian word for "slow cooking." Biryani in Myanmar is a famous wedding dish. Ingredients are usually yoghurt, cashews, chicken, cloves, cinnamon, raisins, peas, bay leaf and saffron which as added to long grain rice. There's also a version called "ambrosia" which features dried fruit or buttered rice.
