    That looks absolutely lovely..ive been making curries for 20 years.have a few indian friends who own restaurants and they give me some of their secrets. Ive never put puree into a biryani. I just use fresh tomatoes for sweeter flavour and bhuna the onions tomatos n spices first...but you can make a great looking biryani. I will try yr recipe tonight. Get back to you tomorrow. Looking forward trying it. 👍👍👍

    Adding fried onions while marination will give more flavour to the chicken
    Half part ghee and half part oil will add more aroma
    You could simply add more garam masala instead of extra cinnamon powder
    No asafoetida and fenugreek in briyani plz
    Rose essence and roasted rasins and cashews will add richness to the biriyani
    My wishes for you to reach great heights, all the best

    Just cooked this recipe and although I made a couple of mistakes, overall it was fantastic. I managed to get the chicken to stick to bottom of my cast iron pot and I thought it was a good idea to cut the thighs into four (big mistake), personally I would prefer a bit more chicken. The rice cooked perfectly and the marinade is absolutely stunning, in fact I'm going to ditch my current tikka recipe for it.
    Cheers.

    I am with Shinryuken15 below. I had Pakistani and Indian neighbours and the Pakistani lady fed me now and then and it was sometimes Biryani. I have seen recipes for this and wanted to make it myself but as Shinryuken15 said it seemed difficult. As you have done before you have made it understandable and I do not care if I eat this for a week it shall be done. My Pakistani lady also added Star Anise and her rice was ambrosia. Sadly they have moved so I will have to make it myself. :-)

      If you look up Rick Stein's chicken and rosewater biryani recipe it's quite simple but comes out great.
      I'd add whole spices to rice (which he doesn't say in recipe)
      Add garam masala to chicken just before taking off heat. Also kewra water is fine if you dont find rosewater.

    • @София-д3р7д
      @София-д3р7д 3 роки тому

      The rice is cooked only for 5 mins. That's why It needed to be cooked longer with the chicken. This one is also traditional, called Biryan in Persian. That's how they are made in Iran. She also added saffron, also traditional. I think you're talking about the Indian one or the Afghan one, which might be different from this one. Indians and Afghans also use more chillies and black pepper in their biryanis. But they are too hot for other people.

    • @ShwetaGupta-hd6yk
      @ShwetaGupta-hd6yk 2 роки тому +1

      So I don't know exactly what variety of Basmati rice she used but ideally the rice for Biryani should be fluffy and each grain should stand on its own. If your Biryani rice is sticking to each other then you didn't cook it right. That's the traditional way of judging Biryani. But for home cooking I guess it's ok if your rice is a little sticky. Btw, to get perfect, fragrant, fluffy basmati rice too need to soak it for atleast half an hour. Wash it. Semi cook it in lots of water, drain the water, heat up some ghee in a pan saute some fragrant spices in it like cardamom, bay leaves, cloves etc and cook the rice again, this time with much lesser amount of water. And then add the cooked rice to cooked meat and let it sit on heat for sometime so the flavors can mingle. This is a much longer process but that's how authentic Biryani was made.
