Might be worth noting (for non-Bangladeshi's) - our traditional rice for biryani and polao are chinigura and kalijira (must be soaked and washed til the water runs clear). But these are not available in all US cities, so people here often are forced to use basmati. I think jasmine is a much better alternative.

1:08 আমরা বিরিয়ানি এভাবে রান্না করি না। রান্নার পুরো প্রনালী আলাদা। আমরা বাংলাদেশীরা বিরিয়ানিতে কখনও হলুদ ব্যবহার করি না।

[@tanimacad828]

It is for nice colour. U can skip it you hate turmeric this much.

[@SamI-jk5vt]

একেক অঞ্চলে একেক নিয়মে রান্না হয়। যেমন চট্টগ্রামে নুডুলসে হলুদ দেয়

[@therakeshdas]

What is evaporated milk?

[@ShwetambariPandit]

Nice recipe, worth trying, but why would you discard the rogan, it is used to top on the last layer for natural colour and flavour, do try.

[@jfruchika6638]

we Don't put Turmeric in biriyani 😅

[@shamachelon]

Why is that?

[@nabilahmed4455]

Of course we do . What are you talking about? The recipe differs in every district.

[@SadGaz200]

Huh? Why not? I have put holud my whole life in biryani

[@pdgray668]

A bit of turmeric is mixed with the meat to get rid of smell and impurities, but we don't put it with rice, right. They didn't either.

[@chaoSefat]

@@pdgray668Absolutely correct. I was also about to say it.

[@srabontipalit0430]

We, Bangladeshi don't use basmati rice,,we use cinigura rice for Biryani

[@sangeetarasmairashoi5168]

Soooooooooo delicious ❤

[@banglarrannaghor]

Thank you so much! We're over the moon to hear that you find it delicious. Your enthusiasm is what keeps us going. Keep an eye out for more scrumptious recipes!

[@nusratprium2022]

Garam masala konta k bole aktu explain korle vlo hoii😊

[@banglarrannaghor]

Absolutely, we used our homemade basic garam masala for this recipe. If you prefer, you can use any store-bought garam masala. However, if you're interested in trying our blend, you can find it on our website at banglarrannaghor.com. Garam masala typically includes a mix of spices like cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, cumin, which add a warm, aromatic flavor to dishes.

[@moharaniJNS]

I think you should change the caption because this is not Bangladeshi biriani. But the Bangladeshis who live in abroad they will consider it as Bangladeshi biriyani 😂😂

[@zakiabilkis601]

Never seen turmeric in chicken biriyani in Bangkadesh

[@shalebegum8393]

[@moharaniJNS]

I live in the USA. I see Bangli people here to make biriyani like this. This is the combination from India and Pakistan. I really like your recipes and also follow. But you should stop telling this type of so called Bangladeshi biriyani.
