    Showed this to my mother and grandmother. They totally approved it.
    My grandmother's exact (translated) words were, "his mother taught him well, he is very decent looking and cooked it with love and respect, I would take this as my dinner any day"
    Guess that's the highest degree of appreciation an Indian mother can give 😄

    I don't think even Josh understands how rare it is for a western chef to make biriyani, post the recipe online, and get approval from the general audience, esp those who are from Hydrabad. I think Josh respects every cuisine, and that's why his approach to a dish is always honest. and that usually takes to good results.

    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.

    Wow Joshua, as a Hyderabadi American-Indian I approve. I love how detailed you were which means you did the right research resulting in amazing colors. When I saw the right colors in each step I knew this recipe was great! Only thing I saw that could be changed is the raita because in biryani it is essentially a liquidy (not too liquidy) condiment that cools down the dish. But raita is also a personal preference and I loved your way! Overall great dish with funny side notes from each step.

    3 tips..
    Salt was fine, but the lemon may have been a bit much.
    You want perfect biryani, you gotta cook in a bigger but way more shallow vessel (thick bottom). Best results come with 2kg+ chicken and rice.
    And finally, you gotta experiment with rose water and kewra water.

    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.

    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. I love that you emphasised the importance of salting your rice properly, some people say it should be ‘salty as the sea’, but I’m not sure you need to go that far.
    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.

    Honestly the best Biryani video ive seen that is made by a non Indian. This is about 99% of the way i make it, honestly he went an extra mile making his own masala and using spices in the water while cooking rice, i used both whole spices for the marinade and some premade biryani masala mixed in the ghee added just before sealing the pot. (i know different regions in india have variations like seafood or potatoes in biryani but this is my way and its an amazing dish)
    But should have used the dum(pressure) method, I will try out the aluminum foil method to see how it goes since his biryani looked great cuz he is right, using the dough to make a seal gets messy. I have seen some people use a long wet cloth and putting the lid on that then using a weight on the lid to maintain pressure too.

    We found out my maternal 2x great grandmother was from northeast India, and have been trying to make more dishes from the region to connect with our heritage. My mom being from Barbados, and also having a thing for Korean food (ate lots at her friends houses in high school), we're gonna end up with a LOT of weird fusion foods.
    Ive been trying to find recipes for northeastern Indian dishes, but havent had much luck so far. Not sure which region biryani is from, but it'll surely be a stepping stone in our new cooking journey!

      This biriyani is from southern part of India.. as for the north east dishes I could give you some hinters if you can tell medish/cuisine.. since north east india is completely different from rest of India

      You say weird fusion foods... I say phall with sambal, onion bhajis and Korean fried chicken...

      @@adithyanmalarmannan all parts of India are equally different from other parts. Even in South India, as a Telangana person, Tamil and Kerala culture very different. Infact, even Telangana and Andhra culture, food are different

      biryani in India isn't from anywhere in particular, because all places have their own versions of meat cooked with rice, yk? Hyderabad is south india, but almost every state has their own slightly different iteration of biryani. meanwhile, some northeastern food derives inspiration from Tibetan cuisine as well, while others are pretty much original in their own ways. when u try to delve into "indian food", always remember that it's a huge umbrella term, that way you won't get too confused :)

    Biriyani and korma are my two favorite meals right now. Served with that fragrant rice. Omg, delicious.

    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

    I became obsessed with perfecting this after a trip to Hyderabad. I can't wait to try this version.
