It's not as fast as a BIR-yani, but it's way faster than the old fashioned way!

Subtitles on, unless you understand Hindi. Took me about 1.5 hours start to finish, but that included waiting time and making the Biryani Masala. Next time I make it I'll be faster.

Makes a nice medium - hot biryani, if you want a milder one you know what to cut back on.

I thought, on reading this, that you spent 1H30 trying to make sense of the Hindi, but now I see that the video is, in fact, only 18:58, so I assume that most of your time was spent making the biryani rather than watching the video !

P.S.  And for those who, like me, prefer mutton biryani to chicken, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPRBBIqoF4o&list=PLmNvVoj_286myrmB1o3Hgzf-RiLOmPUNy&index=12

Thanks for flagging up what looks like a very good recipe. But it appears complex. What old fashioned way would take even longer and with what extra steps?

I was ambiguous, Phil - watched the video, transcribed, spent around 90 minutes making the biryani!

George, my wife's colleague made it with bought biryani spices. That'd cut about a third of the prep time off right there.

Ive made the Dishoom Biryani a few times and really enjoyed it , but this recipe looks even better. I will give it a go this weekend I think.
Thanks for posting bhamcurry

It was recommended by my wife's Indian colleague. That's when you know it's good
