Title: Chicken pilaf/biryani (separate curry sauce included)
Post by: Kashmiri Bob on December 15, 2024, 12:41 PM

Made this last night, unplanned.  Shan chicken pilaf/biryani.  Had some base gravy in the fridge that needed using, so also did a medium/madras curry sauce. It occured to me that this was commonplace BIR fayre at one time. Does anyone remember when?  It would say on the menu, Biryani, with medium curry sauce included, or, comes with separate curry sauce, or something similar.  Is this still done these days?  I don't think I have seen it for a long time.

I've only been offered the choice of curry sauce or vegetable curry as an integral part of a BIR biriani in one location (Yak & Yeti, Truro) and even there I missed the opportunity to accept the curry sauce.  Almost invariably, in my experience, a BIR biriani is accompanied by a vegetable curry (which I invariably leave).

I went to The (Als)Asian Grill  :smile: in Sutton Coldfield about 2 years ago and saw it on a menu there c/w veg curry.
I declined the offer.

I do however make the Dishoom version occasionally at home when I fancy a change from the Birmingham Balti 100% Clone Al Frash MK3 Final version new recipe, which isnt very often lol
