In one version of Tehri, potatoes are added to the rice.[1] In other variants soyabean chunks, vegetables, onions, tomatoes and many different spices are also added.[better source needed]

Tehri and tehari are variants on the name given to the vegetarian version of biryani. It can also be prepared with various types of meats and green peas.[citation needed]
It was developed by the Muslim Nawabs of Awadh in South Asia.[2]
Tehri became more popular during the Second World War when meat prices increased substantially and potato became the popular substitute in biryani.[3] Tehri from Gulbarga in Karnataka is well known among variants from the Indian Deccan.
