  • We had an order to cook chicken biryani for 30 people so we decided to film the process of making such a large pot of food. Scaling up the normal chicken biryani recipe ( • Making Everyone’s Favo... ) is relatively easy, with just a few tweaks - but it does take some practice to become confident with such large quantities of food!
    Not a recipe but more a demonstration of how it is done.

    • @GaithreeDeviLuckan
      @GaithreeDeviLuckan  Před 2 lety +3

      So it's not the live chicken one would get typically - it is just fresh whole chicken from Woolies that is certified as free range, which means they are raised on farms that allow them to roam outside and they are not in cages most of their life.

      Yes we also usually put the layered biryani into the oven (czcams.com/video/7vPwXY5PFLY/video.html) at about 150deg for some time to dry out a little bit. Because this was such a large quantity and pot it couldn't fit into the oven so had to be dried on the gas stove for a little while and then added to a wonder bag (a very large one) and left to cook for a little while longer

    It’s looking absolutely yummy 😋 I’ve never made biryani this method. Always marinate my chicken and layer it raw on a layer of rice and lentils. It’s the moslem way and steam for an hour to perfection every single time.
    So I should perhaps try your method too. 🙏💕🙏

    Hi aunty
    Thank u for your lovely recipes
    Can u give me da recipes for soft chicken briyani, cooking for 50 people
    Stay blessed

    • @GaithreeDeviLuckan
      @GaithreeDeviLuckan  Před 2 lety

      Hi there. Here is the the recipe that feeds 6-8 people czcams.com/video/7vPwXY5PFLY/video.html. The full recipe details are in the video description. For 50 people you can multiply all ingredients by about 6 times. So for instance if 2kg chicken feeds 8 people you will need about 10-12kg for 50 people. We estimate 5 pieces chicken per person but you can always adjust this lower because 5 pieces is quiet a meaty biryani so if your prefer more rice you will need less chicken.
      Or alternatively you can watch this recipe and scale up by about 1 and half times to get to a biryani that feeds 50. This recipe was enough for 35 people comfortably.

    • @shanalawrence4381
      @shanalawrence4381 Před 2 lety +2

      Hello.
      I clean the Trotter's nicely... You got to cut out the hair on either side of the hoof. Give it a good wash. I boil them for about 20 minutes in the pressure cooker.
      When it's boiled, I transfer it into a pot. I then boil about a cup of sugarbeans in the cooker for about 10 minutes.
      To braise, you add to your pot...
      Oil, onions, your mixed masala
      Let it braise on medium heat, then add your boiled Trotter's only. Add your ginger and garlic, salt, curry leaves, 1 tomato. Give it a stir, add the boiled sugarbeans.
      Add the Trotter's water, depending on how much gravy you want. I cook it on high heat thereafter, since it won't take long to cook. Once it's thick and you have your desired gravy consistency, remove from stove and garnish with Dhania.
