    Showed this to my mother and grandmother. They totally approved it.
    My grandmother's exact (translated) words were, "his mother taught him well, he is very decent looking and cooked it with love and respect, I would take this as my dinner any day"
    Guess that's the highest degree of appreciation an Indian mother can give 😄

    I don't think even Josh understands how rare it is for a western chef to make biriyani, post the recipe online, and get approval from the general audience, esp those who are from Hydrabad. I think Josh respects every cuisine, and that's why his approach to a dish is always honest. and that usually takes to good results.

    Few knit picks:
    1. It is spelled Dum but is pronounced as Dhum.
    2. The saffron milk thing is just to add colour to the recipe. So you can totally skip that part if you dont have saffron and just add a little more turmeric.
    And for the people who cant find the ingredients to make Biryani masala powder or think its a hassle to make, you can find "Hyderabadi Dum biryani Masala" powder in your local Indian stores. You can use that and skip the whole process of making biryani masala.

Only thing I saw that could be changed is the raita because in biryani it is essentially a liquidy (not too liquidy) condiment that cools down the dish.

    I'm South African and I live in the Western Cape which is very heavily Cape Malaysian influenced and I hate Biryani because it's so addictive and so good and I just can't stop eating it. We have various versions of the dish ranging from chicken, lamb, mutton and snoek Biryani. And we make the best in Mzantsi. Much love and respect from South Africa.

    This biryani is spot on, I love it that you tackled the ‘kacchi’ (raw meat) biryani first! It’s the one that most people dread making. I love that you emphasised the importance of salting your rice properly, some people say it should be ‘salty as the sea’, but I’m not sure you need to go that far.
    Also, the first yoghurt sauce you made is how we usually make raita in my family but we add a bit of garlic and green chilli to it.
    The dough you were trying to use for the dum was too sticky, just add a bit more flour and it will be much easier to roll onto the pot.
    It’s a shame you didn’t ask Vikram to taste test this, that would have been nice to see. Try making a Sindhi biryani with dried plums and potatoes next time, you will love it ❤

    Amazing recipe, just a few modifications for fragrance and flavor
    - Save the oil you fry your onions in, that is very flavorful adds depth to your biryani
    - add that oil in marinade along with some fried onions and ghee
    - smoke the marinade with charcoal, heat up a charcoal, make a small space in the center of marinade, make a small bowl of aluminum foil or use a small ramekin, add ghee, once your charcoal is red hot, add it to the ramekin and immediately cover your marinade, for an amazing smoky flavor
    - Lastly, while topping the rice add a little pinch or two of sugar (please don't use powdered sugar), some cardamom powder, 2 teaspoons of ghee and onion frying oil, and some fennel seeds to take the fragrance to 11.
