This is what Persian Biryani looks like, pretty sure it is nothing like Indian Biryanis.

How are the spices 'definitely' Persian derived. I remember the spices used for Indian biryanis and they run the entire gamut definitely not common in Persia even today. Well Turkic people have been around long before Turkey. Mughalai cuisine is strongly influenced by central asian cuisine not Persian. Regarding Turks and Central Asia, they have a culture and history independent of Persia or Middle east or China. Most of the Muslims came to India directly via central asia and had their own culture. They did not detour via Persia. Korma for example cooking meats in yogurt/cream after braising most definitely a central asian cultural byproduct.
