1:26 If you are gonna use a blender to ground your spices make sure to cooldown your spices after toasting them. These spices contain oils which are quite volatile in nature so if you are gonna grind them while they are still hot the fragrance giving oil will be evaporated and all you are left with is husk of these spices and your biryani is not going to be that fragrant.

As a Hyderabadi who makes biryani at home every other weekend, I can say that this is the perfect and authentic way to make. I've seen a lot of western people make biryani but none of them are this accurate. Props to Josh. Few knit picks: 1. It is spelled Dum but is pronounced as Dhum. 2. The saffron milk thing is just to add colour to the recipe. So you can totally skip that part if you dont have saffron and just add a little more turmeric. And for the people who cant find the ingredients to make Biryani masala powder or think its a hassle to make, you can find "Hyderabadi Dum biryani Masala" powder in your local Indian stores. You can use that and skip the whole process of making biryani masala.

Imagine you are saying this to someone who is Hyderabadi cooking biryani every weekend. Biryani was never Hyderabadi. The one from Hyderabad was actually Nizaami prepared by the royal chef for you know who. It kinda of people adding their own variations now and saying it Hyderabadi biryani. Someone should also be reminded should be marinated first with oil used to fry onion with spices and then cream and yogurt else whole cream yogurt like in this video.

This biryani is spot on, I love it that you tackled the ‘kacchi’ (raw meat) biryani first! It’s the one that most people dread making.

Also, the first yoghurt sauce you made is how we usually make raita in my family but we add a bit of garlic and green chilli to it. The dough you were trying to use for the dum was too sticky, just add a bit more flour and it will be much easier to roll onto the pot.

@@minnow1337 There's recipe enhancements and then there's completely changing the original recipe's flavour profile and calling it the same thing. Far too often it is the latter.

[@heymradildj]

@@sathishb7932 Ik but raita nobody eats with biryani anymore.

[@pizzaparkerhotdogmaguire3225]

@@heymradildj Then you aren't a professional in Biryani. As there are MANY MANY people who eat raita. Saying nobody eats raita anymore just removed whatever authenticity you had

[@heymradildj]

@@pizzaparkerhotdogmaguire3225 You're absolutely correct but that is secondary. Now a days the quality of raita which we get from resturant is worse they put 95% water and add 5% yogurt. Thats the reason everybody is used to having watery raita. If you do research in past the Nizams they never add water in raita.

It is mostly mountainous and generally arid, though there are broad patches with sufficient precipitation to make agriculture successful. The people speak various dialects of Arabic and are mostly Muslims (see Islam).

Made it today for the first time. I’m glad I had my wife for help, it’s a lengthy process for sure. But sooo worth it.

[@tahir1333]

Looks like an awesome recipe! One reccomendation for the raita, if you add shallots or diced onions to it, it enhances the flavour and the texture

[@ronmcc100]

I worked with a gent from Gujarat India for many years, and sampled several of his native dishes. Some of which were just absolutely incredible in depth of flavor! But in watching this video of yours, I'm reminded of how complex the recipes can be! Damn! Hat's off to you for your patience in pulling a dish like that off successfully! More complicated than I'm willing to do myself, but certainly wouldn't mind if someone else offered it to me!

[@yeetorbeyeeted5588]

As a Pakistani who loves biryani, you are the first non Desi to be able to cook good and authentic biryani

[@HannanShaikh159]

Amazing recipe, just a few modifications for fragrance and flavor - Save the oil you fry your onions in, that is very flavorful adds depth to your biryani - add that oil in marinade along with some fried onions and ghee - smoke the marinade with charcoal, heat up a charcoal, make a small space in the center of marinade, make a small bowl of aluminum foil or use a small ramekin, add ghee, once your charcoal is red hot, add it to the ramekin and immediately cover your marinade, for an amazing smoky flavor - Lastly, while topping the rice add a little pinch or two of sugar (please don't use powdered sugar), some cardamom powder, 2 teaspoons of ghee and onion frying oil, and some fennel seeds to take the fragrance to 11.

[@heersyal2454]

Excellent points to enhance flavour with a few simple tweeks, yumyum

[@81818alia]

My mom tweeks it like that as well, and it comes out freekin absolutely bomb!

I have never had Biryani, but I have been dying to make it. The depth of flavor seems insane! I will definitely be making this soon.

[@poornimav7834]

You should try to have it! its soooo good and honestly the prep and cooking time is a little too much hence would advice you to try it on a sunday! and one suggestion its a little heavy so try to have it for lunch and take a very light dinner on the say day you had biriyani for lunch! I am pretty sure you will love eating it again and again! ❤
