I actually dont how to operate a pressure cooker, to say m a student in LKG, in terms of cooing, I tried this recipe , and , OH BOY, my friend cudnt believe that I cooked this chicken biryani and that 2 yummy , Thanks a lot , blog all ur recipes.
This is the best biryani i had ever made.
Looks very good I have an question you haven't used chilli powder in this biryani will the heat of green chilly will be enough?
Awaiting your reply.
Hi Vasudevan, yes you need not use chilli powder in this recipe, the heat and spicy of green chilli will be good enough for the biryani. This is the way the catering person teached me making biryani. Since you are grinding green chilli with ginger and garlic the heat of ginger, garlic and green chilli will be good enough to make the biryani spicy. If you still want more spicy biryani increase the no of green chilli. There multiple postive comments from the people who had tried this recipe. Hope I have clarified your doubt. Do try this recipe and give your valuable feedback.
And some of the viewers may have doubt about the color of biryani without using chilli powder how did I gained that golden reddish color. That was my turmeric powder which gave me good color to the biryani, some brands of turmeric powder will be reddish yellow while other brands may be perfect yellow or pale yellow.
Made it for today's lunch and came really good...I added chilly powder and reduced green chilly while grinding...I alos tried your vanjaram fry recipe and it was good combo fpr biryani.
Geethalakshmi
I have made this recipe couple of times very good recipe
Thanks Anand.
where can i find biryani essence?
I got my biryani essence from Chennai. I think you can find it in supermarkets across South India. If you are living abroad try requesting your nearby Indian grocery store for one:-)
Thanxs mythreyi , for the excellent recipe ., I did not have biriyani essence , so I added my home made Garam masala ! this recipe is a keeper :-)
