Dan bauk

Dan bauk is a Burmese rice dish that has been inspired by Indian biryani. It consists of long-grain rice that is flavored with typical Indian spices such as saffron, turmeric, star anise, cardamom, cinnamon, garam masala, and cumin. The Burmese twist on the Indian classic is done with the addition of vegetables such as peas, beans, and carrots. Raisins and nuts are often sprinkled on top of the aromatic rice, and the dish typically contains pieces of curried chicken, lamb, or mutton. Fresh mint, mango chutney or pickle, green chili dipping sauce, and a fresh salad often accompany this rice dish.
