I have an Iraqi friend who makes the best briyani. I would really like to learn to make it myself, but when I tried using a packaged mix, it was way too spicy hot. Thanks for sharing these recipes! I look forward to trying them.
Thank you Julia!! taste the masala water before adding rice, it should be little spicy and salty to compensate for the rice! so adjust masalas and salt by that time 🙂
I would have a bite of each of these dishes, they looks amazingly tasty! Maybe I would try the Paneer biryani first! 🙂
SUre annabel 🙂 Do try and let me know how it turns out!
Great post! I love biryani. The first time I made it was for my birthday earlier this year – we had an “around the world” dinner party and I chose India. I used brown rice, however, and it ended up being undercooked. I think it just needed more cooking time to absorb the liquid. Going forward I’ll be sure to use regular basmati rice as per the traditional recipe to make sure it turns out properly! The flavours were amazing though and I will make it again.
Thank you Jennifer 🙂 yeah! Brown rice needs longer time to cook..or needs to be soaked for longer! :)! DO try another time and rock the party!
Oooh I have to try making the mushroom and restaurant-style biryanis. They look amazing!
Thank you Shareba 🙂 do trya nd let me know how it turns out!

I was introduced to Biryani by one of my old co-workers and absolutely LOVE it! This makes eme excited that I can do it myself!
Oh a paneer + biryani dish? My heart just exploded. Thank you!
Love all the wonderful aromas of those spices. I try to experiment with Indian cooking a few times a month.
Mmm, love biryani! I haven’t tried making it myself yet, but with this many variations I know I have to give it a go! The Hyderabadi one in particular really speaks to me! Great roundup, and great work.
