      I am confidant that if that were my fridge in the backyard, it would be an unrecognizable pile of components after tasting that dish. Never been to India, but used to get Biryani from an Indian place in Kuwait, and I have NEVER come close to replicating the flavors, even with some Indian food company sourced paste. I will try to source and make it this way, at least once. I have to admit though, this seems like a LOT of work. While I am game to try it from scratch, this is one where I would like to ask for any/all acceptable shortcuts (like buying the Biryani Masala) so that I can enjoy something that is really close, but that I could make in a weekday evening. Thoughts?

      Hey sonny, I have a cooking request for ya if you're into that sorta thing... I used to get this fabulous cinnamon duck at a Thai restaurant that has since closed. I can't seem to find a recipe for it. I found a duck curry, but this wasn't that. It was a smooth dark sweet sauce, and they gave ya a whole duck. I need this back in my life. Let's go!

    This is super cool. The process is Dum which essentially means to Steam. If you want the rice to be more flavorful, instead of 85%, do 50% in water and the rest with the aroma or steam from the cooked chicken. Adding a little cream to the chicken mix and using those vapor to cook the rice makes it even more awesome. Remember to slow cook it longer. I do the last 50% slow cooked in Instant Pot, slow cooker or oven for about an hour in the lowest setting

  • @TheMridulrathi
    @TheMridulrathi Před rokem +30

    A few notes from a biryani enthusiast:
    Yes making biryani masala yourself is the pro move. But if you don't have a spice grinder, garam masala works in q pinch. Just see which of the other spices you want to add a little more of, but honestly garam masala has almost all of the things in it anyway.
    For the onions: in Indian cooking, the default onion is red. In my experience I cry the least with that onion too so that's a little added bonus.
    When frying those, what he did is fine, but you can also put all the onions in a cold pan, pour in oil till it just covers the onion, and then fry on a medium-er low till it browns. The issue you can run into here is that red onions inherently have more color so it's hard to see the coloration, and once the process is about 80% done, the last 20% goes by in a jiffy so you'd need to be very careful with the onions. Caramelized sugar is not patient with heat.
    Doing this gives you a more concentrated flavor in your oil, since you're using the bare minimum required to cook the onions

    To give it an extra leg, marinate halved potatoes with the chicken spice mix, fry them to get a mildly colored crust , and layer them with the rice like the chicken. That perfect potato will ha blow your mind. If youre wondering the authenticity of a potato, its staple in Calcutta-style biriyani.

    Not bad young padawan. You'll want to cook the chicken and rice 50-60% of the way (no more) before layering it and allowing it to dum cook. Additionally I highly recommend marinating the chicken overnight, it makes a difference. You absolutely should layer the biryani. Finally my general rule of thumb with biryani is 1lb of onion for every 1lb of meat. The onion here is imperative to the flavour profile. I've been cooking for just over 25 years and it took me 5 years to get the family biryani recipe. You done did good bud.

    This looks like a great biryani, my mother would definitely approve.
    A few additions that can elevate the biryani, which my family has been making for centuries, is to add dried plums (aloo bukhara), golden raisins, and nuts (cashews, almonds, & walnuts). Also, if you plan on using saffron, only use the Khurasani variety of Iran/Afghanistan or Kashmiri saffron called kesar. I urge all to definitely try my family's style of biryani, every bite will be a flavor explosion.

    Very impressive. If you want to go one step further, place the raw marinated chicken at the bottom of the pot and layer the parboiled rice on top. Steam (dum) the biryani on high for 10 minutes, and then lower the flame to the lowest setting and continue for another 25 minutes. Once the flame is turned off, the biryani must rest for 15 minutes on a cool surface. This shortcut would yield the same result and would save the time spent on partially cooking the chicken. Just an option to consider.

    I tried making this, first of all it was amazing but couldn't believe how the flavors were so similar to Moroccan dishes, probably due to the somehow similar spices (and the fact I used caramelised onions like they use often in Moroccan cuisine, instead of fried onions) Moroccans and Indians far away from each other managed to reach the same combinasion of flavors in different froms. great minds think alike

    Using reserved oil form fried onion = Authenticity passed.
    Good Job

    @ 8:31 …it’s a commendable effort Sonny. Just a tip if you don’t mind trying it next time, add 10-12 crushed cardamoms at this point before you put rice into the biryani vessel and Dum it. You can get a taste close to authentic Hyderabadi biryani. Give it a try and let me know 😏
    Cheers!
