[@PenniBraswell]

I made this a few days ago and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it! He normally doesn't care for leftovers, but made zero complaints about these. This dish was delicious! Some of the spices are not easy to find in Texas, but I did, and I am so glad. I will definitely make this again. Thank you for sharing your talent and creativity with the world, Chetna!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thats so much, to hear that you both enjoyed it makes me very happy

[@halfinchholes88]

Wow! Just made this! Doubled the ingredientas for a whole chicken. First time, so i let chicken marinate overnight, and prepped the day before. A few slight adjustments, but nothing major. A little unsure while placing in dutch oven. Magical! A man from central Nebraska can cook Biryani! Keep-up the good work, Scott

[@mrtwis7]

Nebraska wow!!!

[@cinnamonapple7488]

Good job, buddy!

[@VerifiedFiveIron]

Damn. Right on, dude.

It was THE BEST!

That spicebox you´ve got on the side is so brilliant. where can i buy it? what is the story to it?

Search for indian spice box..and you will find similar results.

[@JewelsFromVenus]

When you use chili powder is it ok to use american type chili powder spice or does it have to be Indian kind??

[@wiinidiaz]

@@JewelsFromVenus Try it what is available to you. But if you don't think it tastes right try shopping for the spices online. Hope this helps. 😊

[@lightyagami0ben]

could you please specify oven temperature and time setting when using chicken on the bone ?

[@matthewgavin377]

Made this last weekend for dinner, it smelt sooooo good as I was cooking it, couldn’t wait to eat it! It was worth the wait because me and my partner loved it! His mom is making it this week! I think it will become a new family favourite - thank you for sharing Chetna

[@MsTriniWorld]

I adore your cookware, they are so pretty!. Also I will try this recipe ASAP

Due to the lockdown I'm away from my family and I'm really missing my mum's cooking, so I'm going to give this a try and pretend I'm at home! Thank you

Hope you enjoy

[@illomens2766]

I've seen a few Biryani recipes where a layer of herbs (mint+coriander) is added, do you think this would fit well with this recipe?

[@TheJeanGenius]

I love watching the joy you have when cooking. I feel the same when cooking too 🙏🏻❤️😀

Hi Chetna thank you for your videos, I enjoy your cooking. Suggestion: could you please ask your technical team to match the audio level between clip or cuts. Sometimes it is hard to follow the video due to lack of volume in some parts. God bless you!

Butter chicken + biryani. Two delicious recipes. This must be amazing.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Exactly that!

[@claudiawhite9772]

I Love butter chicken that’s why your version of biryanis is the one I like except I put more rice at the bottom first less on top & I dilute safran in hot water extracting his colour not milk! Persian version of using safran!!👏👏👍👌

[@markevans506]

It’s torture watching your videos. Indian food is so amazing. 😋

Your hair color and hairstyle is so beautiful ❤️ thank you for the amazing recipe

[@ellenkellum6697]

My daughter and I made this last night - only we used Chickpeas instead of chicken. And the result was absolutely divine! She immediately asked if we could make this again for her birthday dinner later this month! I'm so happy to have found your channel and I look forward to trying more of your recipes. We're such big fans of GBBS and of you! May you be blessed.

[@kerriwarbanski552]

Hi Chetnah...just subscribed before I even watch your video. I saw you on Great British Baking Show, I did not know you have a KZbin channel.♥️

[@annemackey1512]

Must, must, must try this! Thank you lovely Chetna!

[@bernm7771]

Looksa absolutely delicious! Can't wait to try it. Question - why do you rinse the rice? I've never done that. Have I been making a mistake?🤷

[@FoodwithChetna]

Yes you always always wash the rice 4-5 times so get rid of some of the cloudy water!

[@EvesBookNook]

It helps to get rid of some excess starch! It makes the rice less gummy & mushy, and more fluffy.

[@JustineAnnelineN]

Wow wow!!!cooked my first biryani a few days ago and wish I had this recipe! Definitely gonna give it a try!love your energy!

[@ВладимирХаркович-э6э]

Beautiful and amazing, Chetna! Yesterday was my birthday... and... Two years ago I was lucky enough to live for several months in the same hostel, in which there were British, Americans, Canadians, Germans and... Indians. Everyone remains in my memory, but the Indians still remain in my heart! A lot of time and different events have passed, but we write letters to each other every week. We were introduced and united by the kitchen. Every evening after work, we prepared dinner and treated each other, shared food and dined at the same table. I learned about basmati rice, Kerala spicy food, chicken biryani and sulji ke halwa. With each dish, I never ceased to admire the previously unknown tastes and aromas. I couldn’t imagine myself without Indian cuisine! I prepared some things from memory, others were sent to me on video. And then I saw your book "Tasty India". I decided to buy it, but not immediately, but later. Yesterday was my birthday... and my son gave me your book "Tasty India"! He gave me the best possible gift in the world! I was so glad and so happy that I decided to definitely write to you and thank you for your work - writing a book and running a wonderful channel about food on KZbin! Chetna - you are magical and amazing! You are the Sun, which illuminates and warms with its warmth, and you have the rarest gift - to make people happy! All the best to you and your loved ones!🥰

[@dulciehuwew8129]

This is next level. Make this - you will not regret it!! I made the rice, onions and curry roughly at the same time (with a bit of organisation beforehand) to try to minimise the time it would take. But good things definitely come to those who wait. Absolutely DELISH!!!! Thank you Chetna!

[@sheepa1109]

Hi Chetna! You are UH MAY ZING! Stupid question but I must know! Why use butter instead of ghee? Do I miss out on anything by cooking the recipe with ghee instead of butter? Thank you so much for putting these videos out for us. Your love of cooking is INFECTIOUS. And watching you eat it makes me feel like you’ve invited me into your home to partake. And I’ve brought the 2016 Pinot Noir from Napa Valley for us to enjoy. Speaking of Which, in your opinion, which wines pair best with your and your mom’s biryani? If you don’t mind me asking, which ones are your favorite? Thank you again!

I did need a break from it for a while after that! But, OMG this recipe has me drooling for it again... homemade this time!

Hi Chetna! Love this recipe, but I don’t have a pot which is oven safe. Can I cover it and cook it like a dum biryani or in a pressure cooker on the stove top? What would you recommend? I’m afraid if I put it on the stove top, the rice will burn because there is no additional water.

[@agl3277]

Today I made just the chicken out of this recipe and it is extremely good! One question though: can I replace chicken with paneer next time and if so, how much of paneer should I use and are there any differences in making the dish in this case?

Looking forward to making this! I don't have a dutch oven pot yet, can I make it on the cooker top, and if so how long for? Thanks! 😊
