Probably the EASIEST Briyani Rice ever! | Malaysian Style Tofu Nasi Briyani | VEGAN

Malaysian Nasi Briyani has roots in Indian cuisine but the method and flavour profile, while similar, are very different 🌶️ Instead of boiling the rice first, in Malaysia the basmati rice is cooked straight away either in a rice cooker or in a pot after frying with a spice paste.

[@TheKampungVegan]

Thank you! I'm not sure where you're located, in Malaysia we can buy it from most online retailers. It's the Panasonic Mixer Grinder MX-AC400, hope you can find it!

thanks

[@TheKampungVegan]

You're welcome!

[@omthakkar7801]

Are there any alternatives to onion & garlic?

[@TheKampungVegan]

I don't have any experience with allium free recipes so I'm afraid I can't recommend any alternatives for them, at this time!

[@venusshar1399]

It would have been been better if the thumbnail stated Indian style Biryani as the dish originated from south India, pls keep the originalty n don't keep on saying it's different from Indian Biryani whereas all the spices used in the dish is purely Indian spices

[@TheKampungVegan]

I appreciate your comment, and I'd like to emphasize that Malaysia's diverse population, which includes a significant Indian community, has shaped our culinary landscape for generations. We're proud of this unique fusion, and it's impossible to overlook the Indian influence on Malaysian cuisine. While similarities exist between Malaysian and Indian dishes, like briyani, curries, and roti, it's essential to recognise the nuances in cooking methods and flavor balance that set Malaysian adaptations apart. Acknowledging these distinctions is not only respectful but also celebrates the beautiful diversity in our culinary traditions.

[@belunu4980]

Well said Venus Shar.

[@geethap8920]

This IS Indian style briyani. Lol! Cultural approrpriation is not cool. Unsubscribing.

[@TheKampungVegan]

Cultural appropriation is certainly a serious issue, but this Malaysian style briyani is not an instance of that. This dish is a product of generations of Indian influence within Malaysia's culturally diverse population. It's important to distinguish between genuine appropriation and a unique fusion that celebrates culinary diversity. Let's not jump to conclusions without understanding the context.

[@geethap8920]

@@TheKampungVegan Just because you say it isn't, doesn't mean it isn't. This is how we make briyani at home, and I'm Indian. It's ok to borrow elements from another culture, but give acknowledgement where it's due.

[@manmeetkaur5759]

Hi Getha I wonder if you are familiar with Malaysian Culture. Beryani is Indian, everyone knows that. The Malaysian take is the tauhu & pandan I am of Indian origin, and Malaysian

[@geethap8920]

@@manmeetkaur5759 You can easily make a pizza with rendang topping. That does not make it Malaysian. You'll still have to acknowledge the culture from which the pizza originates. That's simple logic.

[@manmeetkaur5759]

@@geethap8920 absolutely! Pizza is Italian, Beryani is Indian, and Wantan is Chinese. Credit is due to all the places it came from. Perhaps we just have different views on the matter. I’ll just have enjoy the Rendang Pizza, cili padi Wantan, and Pandan fragranced Beryani in Malaysia :)
