He must mean Dhaniya or Dhania powder which is the Asian term for corrainder powder.

ifindforu,

almost missed the post.

will defo give this a go. i'm not making base for now so will use mixed in dipuraja's biryani's rice.

i think the intent is to put the oil in a fresh pan. gut feeling is that the 8/10 mins is quite a long time - but happy to see how it goes.

interesting thought on the mix powder - i would automatically only use std mix powder for pre cooking ie not the special ifindforu. it's even more of a question whether it should go into the likes of bunjarra or say red masala or even base (if you use mix powder in base, Dipuraja's does for example).

Is that right ifindforu? 30 plus minutes to cook the chicken?  Seems like a hell of a long time to me.  Won't it go tough?
