Marion, you won't believe how fast I clicked on the video!! I'm one of your Indian followers, have interacted with you a bunch of times on here but I would totally give you a massive hug if I could right now. Making biryani is not an easy task, there are many potential pitfalls if you are not accustomed to South Asian cooking. But you presented all the fundamental steps of making biryani in an incredibly clear way. I don't know if anyone could do a better job of introducing a biryani recipe with such easily source-able ingredients to a wider global audience. I can only imagine how much effort creating and testing this recipe must have taken. Thank you so very much for all the hard work. Lord knows there are ten thousand ways to make a biryani, but as someone who has studied so many biryani recipes, I can tell you this is THE fundamental method of making it. Also, your banana leaves at the end didn't go unnoticed 😉 Thank you for presenting it this way to the Marion's Kitchen family

I am Indian and this is almost perfect! I would recommend sprinkling some ready made "biryani masala" that you can get from an Indian store while layering. Secondly, a dash of rosewater or keora water and lemon juice at the end to give it an authentic touch. But seriously excellent work, Marion! Makes my heart so happy to see someone not from my culture get a biryani right. ❤️

Eww...no kewra water! It will ruin the taste. Be careful while recommending this to non Indians because they didn't grew up eating food with rose flavor and will find it a bit strange. Instead of liking the dish, they will hate it, especially if they are trying the dish for the first time. I grew up eating biryani without Kewra water and the first time I tried biryani at a Indian resto, I found that rose taste biryani disgusting! I can never get used to it. However, it does taste great with desserts like Rasmalai etc.

Hey Marion,you nailed another Indian recipe yet again.But this time its a complicated one and Biryani is an emotion for us.Your efforts truly show,this one's a gorgeous Biryani indeed,and the sides are great too.I have a few observations: 1.The basmati rice needs to be really long-grained 2.Some of the lamb pieces were charred.One tip is to layer the bottom of the pan with bay leaves,secondly,you can use a hot cast iron skillet at the bottom of your pot,or thirdly,you can layer the bottom with parboiled potatoes.In some parts of India (Kolkata specifically),people love potatoes in their Biryani (and a boiled egg on the side). 3.The amount of herbs you put was quite a lot compared to the amount of Biryani you were making.So much mint and coriander would overpower the flavor of the saffron and the garam masala. 4.Meat on the bone imparts more flavour indeed,although boneless meat/meatballs or kofte are also commonly used. Please keep making more Indian recipes.May be garlic naan next time on your Indian series.And please do visit India.🥰

Indians have a few different versions of biriyani- one is this method in the video where rice and curry are cooked separately then put together at the end. Another method is where curry and rice are all cooked in one pot, this is a more risky method because it can be messed up if the ratio to curry and rice are wrong, but the flavour is so good and the ingredients are so much simpler and its very rich in flavour. This the style that is made in the south and what I'm used to eating, this is my favourite style personally. The flavour is quite different to method on this video. Its typically served with a spicy eggplant curry that is to die for and raita. You gotta try this version Marion! Also you gotta try prawn biryani its so good!

Marion, a few tips, if you please. Add a mace flower, a full star anise, half a spoon of caraway seeds to the water when you boil the rice. I usually tie all the whole spices in a muslin bag and let the water boil with them for at least 15 mins. The water turns brown and then I add the rice. The aroma of that rice is out of this world. With saffron, try to find some rose water to add when you put in the saffron. In India we also add Kewda water... but I don't know what it is called in English.
