[@kavithsayed2102]

Looks very yummy. Wht rice do use fr all ur breyanies. Thank u dear God bless u..❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

We normally use long grain rice. But sometimes we also use basmati. Cooking the rice separately helps keep whatever rice you use firm and grainy. Some prefer the wetter biryani though, so it all comes down to your preferences.

[@cillamannie909]

I like the tomato substitute..what else besides sour milk can one use as sometimes people dont eat dairy or it's too sour. Also please show how to roast potatoes and carrots for veg breyani. Did you put the pot with the lid on in the oven? Thanks for great cooking

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

You can skip the tomatoes/sourmilk altogether in the recipe. The pot goes into the oven with the lid to avoid drying the rice out too much and steam. If you prefer the biryani rice to be very grainy you can put the pot in without the lid, drying out the biryani more. We will show roasting soon!

[@maimoonaessack7338]

Try Nola Mayo original

[@kathygore6615]

gorgeous recipe - I have no idea where I would get fresh double beans here in Australia and only see fresh Borlotti beans rarely) - we can only get tinned or dried here that I know of - how would you use tinned or dried in this recipe please?

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Hi Kathy. That is a good question. For canned/tinned beans you will have to add the beans in almost last when you are cooking the curry, just before adding rice. This is because beans in a can is typically very well cooked already and can get too soft. For dried beans there are two options. The first is to boil the dried beans out until they are nearly soft and then add them to the curry. The second is to soak the beans in water overnight and then braise as per the braising in this recipe. Here is the link to how we cooked dried sugar (speckled) beans: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnrTm59smc-njJY

Hi I'm looking for white potato curry recipe. It can't be found anywhere on the internet.

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

We haven't done a white fried potato yet. But we have yellow potato which would be similar if you leave out the tumeric/hurdee and we did a potato and tomato fry that's also delicious. See links below: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWbaaWNpo6t6f6s kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnOtgZuorqZ5iZI

This is such a lovely presentation and I love the conversation between cameraman and aunty cooking! Love the memories you shared about asking the wedding server for potatoe..reminds me of my late Umma! Some hints...Hurdee is called Tumeric so perhaps put into the captions...Also love the enamel plate as my Umma used to do that!! Really home food

Aunty Devi. Where can I buy the fresh dubula and gadra beans. I'm in East london and I haven't seen any at our shops OR what other beans can I use instead. Thank you.

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

For gadra you can use soaked speckled beans and for the dubla butter beans/broad beans.

[@usharamnath1020]

Hi Aunty. Lovely recipe. When u want to cook the rice with veg together, how much of water do u use to cook them in and how long does it take? Thanks❤

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

You should initially add a cup of water per cup of rice once the vegetables are cooked. You can then bring it to a boil and add the biryani to the oven. You will then have to check the biryani from time to time in the oven and add water if necessary, but carefully from the side.

[@usharamnath1020]

[@yeshidaindraj9694]

I will definitely try your method I would like to know what make of pot u use also do you not put mint . Can u please show us how to make roht for prayer.How do you roast your potato and carrots.Please reply .I wish I was there when that biryani was cooked .All the best to you Maam

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Will show how the potatoes and carrots are in a short video soon. Roht we only make if we are doing a prayer. Maybe I will write the recipe down rather than a video

[@mossfairy3060]

What size is the curry spoon?

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

We measured it and a curry spoon is approximately 4 tablespoons 👍🏽.

[@yeshidaindraj9694]

Aunty Devi I wanted to know do we not marinate the vegetables for a while then braise

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

We don’t marinate the vegetables. Usually we wash and soak for a little while and then use them. Vegetables will take in the flavours of the spices as they cook in the biryani

[@shirleygovender9046]

Can u tell me hw much rice vegetable n oil to cook for 50 ppl

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

I don't have precise quantity for 50 people. For about 35 people I would use 10 cups of rice. It will require about 750ml oil and 250g Rama. Vegetables you can add according to how much you have and also how "rich" you want the biryani to be. For example potatoes will be approx 4-5kg, other vegetables will be 2kg each and you can use a full head of cabbage or leave it out, depending on your preference.

[@shirleygovender9046]

Thanks aunty

[@grannyddaljeet8791]

I was born in South America. I also travelled the world. My opinion is to use what you have in your country since Auntie can only use what she has in her country. I never heard of gadra. I looked it up and it is beans in a long pod. Just use what you have in your country or else you won’t make the recipe. Blessings
