wow!.

this is a real top notch video and teach in - Budapest is obviously priority for hols.

it's got to be one to try out particularly with a madras sauce.

SnS you're really spoiling us now

windybum,

thanks for the heads up. the mace is a bit "medical" tasting for me and will probably remove it completely.

i use mace in parker21's Kashmiri Masala and garam masala if i make my own (rarely nowadays). it works well in both but i guess it's in small proportions.

got to give this recipe a try for sure. 

Yep I tried this version also, I left out the mase as I have used it before and did not like the taste. My main problem with this version is that the rice was over cooked, so I'd recommend that the cooking of the rice is reduced by half at the beginning and at the end.

Hi all ,made a Chicken Biryani as per video today and although the family and me agreed it was very tasty we all agreed it was a very dry meal.My Daughter regularly orders a Chicken Biryani from our local T/A and that has Chicken in Rice in one container and fried ? vegetables and a sauce ( base sauce maybe )in another container this seems more enjoyable ,any thoughts you guys ? 

the BIR biryani comes normally with a vegetable curry sauce.

well worth a try asking for plain curry sauce in place of the vegetable curry sauce (i have madras). u have to be quite clear or it won't happen and u'll end up with the veg.

the plain curry sauce just lifts the dish for me. i also tend to go the whole hog and make sure there is an omelet and ask for a side of banana fritter. important if u have the omelet is not to put any curry sauce on it - eat on it's own or with the rice. reserve the sauce to have with the rest of the biryani.
