Is Swahili biriyani the best biriyani?

- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- I recently asked which biriyani is the best on insta and Swahili biriyani won the votes. I will let you try this one out and decide. I love my biriyani saucy and easy to make :) This chicken biriyani ticks both those boxes.

I’m Pakistani but I grew up in Mombasa so I’ve always gravitated towards Swahili biryani!
Team swahili! 💃🏻💃🏻 that said, I LOVE Pakistani food too
Are you married please??
dah!! umenitamanisha yani hapa nilipo nameza mate tu😋
Swahili
What’s mala?
I have tried multiple biriani recipes but I must say this was the most simplest to follow and so yummy. Legit my pot is empty in less than half an hour good! Definitely a must try, guaranteed to make you want to do it over and over again. Thanks for the tutorial ❤
Team swahili is just the bomb.(not like ive tried this other birianis though).
Btw I tried your mahamri recipe it was good,will make again n post on the website sometime
Team swahili allllll the way for me too ☺️ glad you like the mahamri recipe
Hey guys, are you #teamswahili, #teampakistan or #teamindia or even #iran ?
Team Swahili,all the way
Swahili ofcourse especially the biryani found in local weddings
Team Swahili forever
Team swahil bast of the best
TeamSwahili 🇹🇿🇹🇿 we are known for the best biryani especially in znz
We've made this several times now and it is always a hit. The flavors of the spice blend are quite fantastic. The cloves and cinnamon back up the cumin wonderfully. The fried onions are also a delicious addition. I experimented a little by increasing the amount of spices by about another third. I also added berbere (1 tblsp) powder and some chopped anaheim chiles. Everything about this recipe is amazing and I thank you for sharing it!
Team swahili!!❤❤ Waay easier than what I grew up making in Mombasa. Simplified same ingredients and great taste. Made it multiple times.
SWAHILI BIRIYANI all day long! Team Swahili! I do enjoy the other styles but for me Swahili wins! Both my parents are from East Africa so I’ve grown up on this kind of delicious, flavoursome food!
Swahili always wins for me ☺️☺️☺️
Team Swahili 🇰🇪 all the way!! Yummy 😋
The best
I have tried out many biryani recipes and this is one of the easiest to follow yet the results are awesome!It tasted amazing!Everyone loved it. Thank you so so much..
Thank you for your lovely comment 🤗
Team Swahili - all the way. Born in Nairobi and lived in Mombasa too, and grew up loving the days my parents cooked this wonderful dish. Heaven...
🤗🤗🤗 all team swahili are officially family
Welcome to kenya dear 😍😍😍😍😍 twakupenda we love u in English😍😍😍
i watched an indian making biriani and i must say it was well prepared, took time to marinade chicken...mix n blend spices....etc. it simply seemed delicious though the swahili one looks easy to make
I am from pakistan living in east africa and i am also biryani chef no one can beat the real biryani tastes from pakistan. And it has very special ingredientes which is hard to create with out hard woek.
Used your biryani recipe yesterday, with a just a couple different changes - couldn't be bothered to deep fry onions 🤣! Biryani is my favourite, but I always make it too spicy. Yours was perfect my kids 👍. Well done chef!!
I have tried so many Biryani recipes including swahili biriyani/zanzibari biriyani and yours is so so similiar to the zanzibari one and it's the best! I made this twice for when friends were over and everyone loved it! It's quite some work but SO worth it
Swahili Biriani all the way🙏 next time try Plain Yoghurt instead of Mala... and jaribu kupika ile ya Rojo chini wali Juu pia ni tamu sanaaaaa😋😋😋😋😋
Grew up with Swahili Biriyani, i like it a lot, but i have tried the other two and they are also good. At the end of the day they are all good, Biriyani Brings people together. #teamswahili
Thank you so much for the recipe. I have made it the entire family loved it.. Kids and wife.. Now.. I have to cook every week-end, they said..
Haha you got yourself in trouble there 😄 good job 👏👏👏👏 keep it up!
Mauritian and Pakistani biryani seems to be similar and tastiest. Swahili one is good too, but looks a separated type biryani.
Hey Vanessa enjoy your cooking I am an Omani origin was born in Msa and Alhamdulilah I too love cooking all sorts of foods around the globe however when it comes to Biriyani I think the best is Hyderabadi Biriyani in the world at least for me and I'm sure if you try it you will agree with me as well, its full of flavours it has fresh herbs corriander ,mint and the marination period with the way its slowly cooked makes a big whole difference I find the swahili biriyani simply tastes tomato pasty although I do add like some tomato paste in the Hydrabadi Biriyani when I cook for some sweetness but not that much..BTW what is Mala? is it yoghurt?
Sour or fermented milk
I make fresh garam masala everytime I make biriani and my biriani tastes ajjab I also put little sugar In Rojo tastes good
☺️
Sugar ? Nice, I’ll give that a try . kidogo tu, sio?
Hi, I prepared this biriyany today and it was fantastic. I made some minor additions. I added whole spices at the beginning and at the end, i sprinkled some saffron with a splash of rose water. The end result was great. Thank you for the recipe.
Team Swahili (which would include the coast of Somalia too) are leading, but team Iran (and Afghanistan) are not far behind. The Arabian Gulf teams are also doing well, with their Mandis and Khabsa, yes very yummy! The Subcontinent teams, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka are neck n neck with the Arabian teams. But hold on folks, there is a dark horse in the race and its the Spanish with their Paella and among the ingredients they are using "Zafaran". This might spring a surprise, who knows even the Chinese are in the race with their own BIRIYANI. Nice one!
Mohabat khan Malak love ur comment lol
I tried this and it was easy and the best biryani I've had. Thank you.
Tried your recipe for lunch... The pot is already empty #teamswahilibiryani thanks for sharing
Fixing to make it on Friday , bought all the ingredients. Kidogo pregnant, kedo two months now, dieting to give one month back, then I whachilia on Friday.
🤣 you’ve made me cheka with your comment
@@swahilifood It's the love of God who gives us laughter
Let me start off with I love the look of this dish and will be trying it.
For me this dish is Rice and curry rather than biryani.
The best way to describe a biryani is that it's a pilau rice with marinated meat layered. That said if I made this curry of yours and reduced down enough I would mix it in with the rice and that to me would be biryani enough. But each to their own. Thank you for the recipe.
I made my chicken with eggs instead of potatoes... It was so good. And BTW I love swahili dishes
Ohhhhh eggs are great to add
i made it and yeeeah this is the easiest recipe(that i have tried from you tube) so far and the results was ;perfect -very yummy!!i used pure yoghurt instead of mala
That's because it's cooking two different dishes and putting them in a serving dish and calling it biryani. What next making flat bread serving it with choped toppings and serving it in a plate with grated cheese and tomato sauce on the side and calling it pizza?
I must admit team swahili biriyani love it ❤❤👍
🙌
Must try..your voice is goals
Thank you ☺️
Very enjoyable, Thankyou 🙂
I think swahili is soo much tastier.. I luvvvvvv swahil food
Your soo cute to be honest,also your explanation is good
Thank you ☺️
True
Swahili biryani the best Mashallah...am yemeni but swahili biryani is wow.
you the BEST
This looks like the biryani that I got in Kitengela. I can't wait to try this recipe.
Alar there’s a place in Kitengela serving biriyani? Where?
@@swahilifood It was a restaurant on top of a petrol station, near Tusky's if I remember correctly. I am finally moving to Kenya later this year and can hardly wait to have it again, as well nyama choma.
I lived in kenya and girrrrl yas #teamswahili biryani!!! they are the best! and you are soo beautiful:)
Yap she's soo beautiful
Swahili is the best thick stew yum I have tried all other biryanis expect turkey 🇹🇷 and I believe Swahili is the best
Definitely Swahili. Love the sauciness.
Me too 🤤
Lovely i tested it many times amazing
So happy to hear that
This was just the bomb..... I cooked this at our women's chama and they liked it very much.
So this is basically just a tomato based chicken gravy dish over flavored rice. I wouldn't call it Biryani, since biryani is meat cooked with rice in the same pot with complementing herbs and spices. I like the innovative touch, but I think this differs from the original authentic way of cooking real biryani.
Authentic biryani has saffron, a lot of different herbs and spices also plus its cooked with a lot of heat internally to retain the flavors.
I like the Swahili style as well, I think it's simpler, but I just don't think it's the same. Sorry if you feel offended, just stating my opinion. I admire your style of cooking.
Thank you for sharing your wonderfully presented meal.
Hey 👋 no offense taken at all. Everyone is entitled to their opinions around here and we are totally ok with that 💪
This was how I was taught to make Swahili Biriyani over 25 years ago 😊 I stuck to the recipe because I wanted to make sure I always the same results. That said, I do make a few changes (when I’m in the mood) like adding saffron and rose water, extra ghee to the rice while, yep layering it. I also add mint sometimes, again if I’m making it extra special. Swahili cooking doesn’t go overboard with spices which is what I love
Definitely this wouldn't pass for biriyani in India n Pakistan but this is what the Swahili refer to as biriyani and that's how they have been doing it for centuries (indian influence ofcos). All in all l find the Indian biryani very technical n tedious cook to say the least but the taste is indeed phenomenal. Biriyani war is a never ending one though even Indians themselves never seem to agree which is the best, authentic n so on as some spices n ingredients vary depending with region(tomatoes in biryani always elicits alot of debate from Indians from what l always see in UA-cam comments)
Love it you made it super easy
It looks amazing and easy, must try it
Very easy ☺️
I tried this recipe and it turned out great!! One of the easiest biryani recipes to follow!!
Wooohhoooo 🙌
👍👍 im teamswahili. A mix breed between an African and Indian and that's how we make our biriyani
Just did a lot research into Swahili cusine after seeing a lot of Indian names (chapati, biryani), spices and ingredients... I think Indian immigrants to Africa have had a significant impact on the food culture there... A great marriage of cusines! Anyway will try this...partial to Indian hyderabadi biryani though!
Hi Sharon, so refreshing to meet someone who researches ☺️🤗 and yes Swahili food is heavily influenced by Indian and Arabian cuisine as well as Portuguese
Pro tip from a Swahili: Blend the Tomatoes,they'll cook faster and the stew is thicker
Sometimes natumia grater
Thank you for sharing...l really enjoyed making the swahili one
It’s the bomb
i work i kuwait i have tasted all types of biriyani personally swahili biriani is no 1
Mwanamke unapika wewe mashallah ♥♥♥
Shukran sis ☺️☺️☺️
Yes kids in Kenya will like Swahili version because it's sweet and mild. I personally prefer spicy so I'm team Pak all their food is yum ;)
Pakistani food is awesome but I prefer the swahili biriyani with a side of chilli
Thank you ma'am. I like easy methods too ;)
Love the plant in the basket 🧺 behind you , how do you water it without ruining the basket ?
Great eyes! The plant itself is in a plastic pot. I just put the pot in the basket ☺️
@@swahilifood Off I go to get me a basket like that.
What made this recipe today, and l have never eaten anything sweeter, l surprised myself,thank you for sharing.
Wooohoooo 💃 tena it’s better the next day
Thank you
Karibu 😊
This was good followed ur recipe my whole family loved it thank u!
Hi love, glad you all loved it ❤️❤️
Team Swahili all the way !
Aww you upload again b'coz i couldn't watch before. Thanks for sharing your recipes God bless you xx
Yes, corrected the audio problem ☺️
Hey love. Tried the veg. biryani and it was a hit!!
Question : must one skin the chicken? Can one use kuku kienyeji or it has to be the broiler?
Hi 👋🏼
Glad you liked the veg one.
You can leave the skin on if you prefer. I like it off ☺️
Kienyeji has more flavour (if I had access to some I’d def go for it) it does take longer to cook but so worth it
Aw you reuploaded again. I love swahili biryani but hyderabadi biryani js hands down the best biryani ive ever made.
Hope the sounds better now and everyone can hear ☺️
@@swahilifood yes it is good now,much love
Yum.. my favourite kind of briyani is when the chicken is cooked with the rice with spices and cashew and raisins. The chicken gives the rice a delicious flavour.
In terms of team it’s hard to choose as India itself has over a thousand types of briyani each with their own technique.
Very true about so many variations. Have you tried swahili biriyani? I assure you it’s definitely worth having
Am from Kenya and swahili biriani is the best
Im coloured my husband is a Tanzania i love their food all there dishes is very nice some looks bad but the taste yummy
☺️ some foods can look a little bland until you try
Vanessa have you ever tried south African breyani? (Durban) Yassus..
I actually haven’t. Didn’t even know there was a South African one ☺️
The Durban one is delicious too but nothing beats Swahili biryani. I miss that and the pilau from the time I lived in TZ
no saffron?
Sometimes, when I’m out of the orange food colour
Uswahilini ndo kuna biriani....wala hadi sinia yabaki tupu... I love ur style ❤️
☺️❤️
Asalam Alaikum dear just use Pilau Masala ya kenya Ni nzuri sana for Biryani try it👌🏻
Niko nayo lakini wengi hawana ndiyo mana nimeonyesha jinsi hii

Yes swahili biriyani is the best in the world specially zanzibar biriyani.

🤤 food cooked over a wooden fire is the best
