I'm quite craving some good chicken biryani for a few days...open to suggestions. Budget is around βΉ300 (Β±60 works) per person.
I am not sure what happened in the last 2-3 years, but in my locality it seems like one in every 3 shops is a biryani shop. What is happening? Have you noticed this in your area? I am from Velachery btw.
Preferably Pakistani biryani, but I am open to anything. Iβve never tried it, and I currently have covid so I canβt taste/smell anything. Once my senses come back (and Iβm no longer contagious of course,) I plan to treat myself to something new, haha.
Thanks!
I have been wondering if Dutch oven can be used for making kachi dum biryani (meat goes in raw) - and what adjustments are needed from traditional method?
Is it possible lol? I don't want to have to buy a crazy amount of spices but all the recipes I've seen have at least 7 or 8 items I would have to go and buy, probably to not use for a good amount of time since I don't cook Indian food a lot.
Thanks in advance!
edit- asking for a recipe to clarify, forgot to put that in the title
edit 2- sorry to be that guy to edit 2 but just want to thank y'all for all your help. All of y'alls tips I will definitely look back on. I'm also going to be that guy/girl to respond to too many comments but oh well
Hyderabadi who "love" paradise Biryani need to be sent to pakistan on tatkal ticket.
That's it that's the post.
P.s. For those without a sense of humour This is a Joke.
Edit: guys chill, no disrespect to anyone or Pakistan's biryanis, just making a satire on how for many tourists to the city paradise has be benchmark for Hyderabadi biryani. I respect people have their tastes but there are places whose Hyderabadi biryani is much better and deserves to be the poster child for Hyderabadi biryani.
Hi all,
I tried making lamb biryani today.
I used this recipe. It worked really well right up until the end. When it was done, the lamb was completely overcooked and had lost all its texture. The masala, which was beautiful and flavourful at first, had completely evaporated and turned dry.
I used a Dutch oven with heavy lid and low fire for the final 20 minutes, but it was clearly too much and it ruined what could have been such an amazing dish π
Anyone with more biryani experience who can help with some advice?
So recently I had biryani from a shop famous for galouti kebab. The biryani was the worst till date , the rice was undercooked , there was no flavour, the mutton was rubbery. I have had biryani from many popular lucknow joints but most shops lack consistency in taste and quality. Which biryani do you like and how much would you rate them out of five?
It has the usual ingredients you would expect but also rare stuff like black cumin seeds, pomegranate seeds and prunes.
I dont have green cardamom but it will be fine without it.
He grinds all the whole spices then adds the ground spices like cumin, tumeric and coriander. Then he just adds the dried plums. He doesn't grind it. Is that common?
All these restaurants are closer to my area, obviously I'm going to suggest these restaurants. Rating on the basis of the Portion, Taste and Meat Pieces for a single person. Also im
- Dabbawalla Restaurant (Hyderabad Chicken Biryani): The Portion size was well enough with enough masala to taste and had 2 to 3 pieces of chicken. What was surprising with the restaurant was the consistency on my 2nd and 3rd order. The masala was there, the portion size was perfect and the number of pieces never reduced. Also to mention the taste was to my preference and didn't differ on each order.
Portion - 5, Taste - 5, Meat - 5.
- Maa Ooru Biryani (Donde Chicken and Mutton biryani + Srinlankan mamsam): If you prefer spicy π₯ biryani more of Green Chilli spice, this is the biryani i would recommend. The portion size was more than 1 person would prefer, but mostly it was seraga Samba rice and small pieces of chicken. The number of pieces of chicken pieces I could find was 4 - 5 small pieces. The highlight is the Srilankan Mamsam which is basically a mutton dish but goddamn it was tasteful as a seperate dish.
Portion -5, Taste - 4.5, Meat - 4
- Chaitanya Food Court (SPL Mutton biryani) : The Portion size was more than enough for a single person and the surprising part was number of mutton pieces which was 5 - 6 pieces with enough masala to go with. It was made in Andhra style with bit of spiceness and the mutton was cooked well and spicy.
Portion - 5, Taste - 4, Meat - 5
- Mehfill (SPL mutton biryani): Fortunately it was a good experience when I took my friend out, it was the tastiest biryani I've had in a while with good portion size and enough meat to go with. But Mehfill has never given a consistent experience sometimes it's the best biryani, sometimes it's not. The 2nd time ordered in the same week was kinda the worst biryani taste.
Portion - 5, Taste - 3, Meat - 4.5
- 4 Seasons (Chicken biryani combo): Overall a disappointing experience, the portion was too less to my preference, 2 pieces of meat and costly food. The taste was ok.
Portion - 2, Taste - 3, Meat - 3
- BiryaniWalla co (SPL Chicken Biryani): This one I've had today, the portion size was good, with 2 to 3 big pieces of chicken. The taste was kinda tangy, didn't like it at all. Even the masala had some tangy lemon taste. Overall an average biryani.
Portion - 4, Taste - 3, Meat - 3
Let.me.know.your suggestions, would like to try new biryanis.
I usually order curries but decided to try something different and ordered veggie biryani (extra spicy). It came with a yogurt sauce and a brown sauce. Do most people use these for dipping, or do you drizzle it over the rice?

I am not from Delhi so asking for awesome places to have briyani.
Hey guys, I'm in the process of opening a biryani cloud kitchen. Still in the process of organizing the sources but before that I wanted to kn esp in Chennai what kind of problems you usually face when you want to eat biryani? Whether it's going to restaurant or ordering online. For eg., like biryani costs too high, or packaging not good or biryani isn't heated.. something like that. I want to what kind of problems people face so that I can look for a solution...
