Wooooahhh, looks amazing

@@finallyvegan8761 Thank you :) Glad you liked it

The recipe looks good but many people commented about the yoghurt and are probably disappointed because the title led them to believe it was vegan. Vegans don't consume any dairy (cheese, milk, ghee, yoghurt, eggs etc).

@@hinduhindustani2072 it's Vegan Yogurt, I had clarified that in the description of the video, which sadly not everyone reads.

@@Foodotomic Sorry I apologize. My mistake 🙏

Glad you liked it Ralph :) Hope you try it as well

Glad you liked it :)

Glad you liked the recipe :) I will definitely look forward to your feedback when you try it :)

Glad you liked the recipes, I will look forward to you trying them :)

Ofcourse I will try and let you know the feedback

This makes me so happy :) Thank you so much for trying, I know the recipe can be a little intimidating as there are multiple steps and so many Indian spices, loved that you tried it and liked it :) This is one of my personal fav because the flavors are incredible. Hope you try other recipes as well :) I am grateful for sharing your feedback

@@Foodotomic in Brazil, many of the used spices are surprisingly easy to find. But some of them, like the garam masala and basmati rice, I bought online. Again, thank you for this amazing recipe!

@@GlauberLCR hi from Uruguay, we get the basmati rice from Brazil :)

@@Foodotomic no creo! Eres de Uruguay? Increíble! Quiero mucho conocer Uruguay, pero con la pandemia aun no es posible...

@@GlauberLCR Soy de India, vivo en Uruguay :) Tenía mis planes de viajar a Brasil el año pasado, pero debido a Pandemia no pude. Espero que todo esto termine pronto :)

That's what I'm wondering. I guess there are plenty of vegan yogurt options.

It's Vegan Yogurt Poornima

That's correct, there are multiple Vegan Yogurt and Curd options available and even can be prepared at home

Glad you liked it. This one is a must try :)

Glad you liked it, I will definitely look forward to your feedback :)

Glad you liked it :) :) what was your fav in the Indian restaurant ?

@@Foodotomic buttered chicken ,chicken chennai

Ok, so my family just ate it and said it tasted just like the local Indian restaurant we go to. They said it’s the best rice I’ve ever made ( comment courtesy my 13 yr old son. He hurriedly scuffed down the rice and went for seconds. Thank you again for this amazing recipe.

I am glad you liked it, and I know this one is a tedious process and takes time. I have an instant chickpeas biryani recipe, which is really simple. You must try that, as it's half the number of steps and tastes good too. Thanks again for trying :)

Glad you liked it :)

Thank you so much Margaret, I will definitely look forward to your feedback. Do let me know if you have any questions

Yes the spices will impart the flavors in the rice, and biryani in itself is a play of flavors- so layering them will help it to keep it a little uneven. I know that sounds weird but it plays a key role in the big picture. I will look forward to your feedback

​@@Foodotomic Thanks for the explanation. Just curious if you've ever tried a "test", where you cook one small batch of rice putting spices in the soaking water (the control sample), and another small batch soaked with the spices? This will allow you to see whether there is any difference in flavor between the two, and if so, how much of a difference. Personally I think performing little experiments like this can help us to better understand the mechanics of cooking, and I'd recommend trying it if you haven't done so already. I'll probably try this experiment in the near-future - if the spice-soaked rice has a lot more flavor, that will be a game changer for making rice in my opinion. I'm surprised I've never seen this method mentioned elsewhere. The layering method is something I've now seen in one other recipe, a Persian recipe called . I look forward to making both your biryani and that Persian rice dish. Looking forward to watching more of your content.

@@Keralite29 Oh, I absolutely love experimenting with food, and I make Biryani recipes both ways depending on the audience. Some of my friends don't like the strong flavor of spices, so I recommend this technique, but for those who do, I add them to the rice while cooking and then separate them once done. But you are absolutely on point unless you experiment, you won't know which one you personally like :) I love to challenge the traditional ways of cooking and always try something new or in-between which is easy and delicious :)

Sadly that's the reality, no one reads through the comments or even the title of the video ha ha

Shut up would you it's not that serious

thank you so much, glad you liked it :)

Glad you liked it :) I will definitely look forward to your feedback, let me know if you have any questions

My partner and I ate so much of the rice we immediately napped afterwards :) haha It was so delicious. I did not have potato or pea so it heavily included many mushrooms :) Thank you again! I do have a question! Instead of saffron, do you recommend curcuma/turmeric? I read online that is a descent replacement but I am wondering if you have a better substitute

@@ETT329 Thank you soooo much for your feedback :) so good to know that you and your partner loved it. You can replace the saffron with rose water or rose petals, saffron is added to give it an aromatic flavor and same can be achieved using rose petals :)

@@Foodotomic thank you :) i will try that

@@ETT329 That's awesome :) I am sure you would like it

Glad you liked it Kuya Sam, do you make Vegan Biryani usually?

@@Foodotomic Unfortunately no! I would like to start in earnest now!

@@MrSridharMurthy Aww that's alright :) we all start somewhere :) :) all the best and let me know if you have any questions

@@Foodotomic Sure will do! You are very kind!💛

@@MrSridharMurthy :) :)

Glad you liked it Xavienne :)

Thank you so much :) I will definitely look forward to your feedback, if you find saffron great, otherwise don't worry about it

@@Foodotomic the breyani was amazingly delicious thank you so much everyone love it wanted more❤❤❤🙌

@@just_Belinda Glad you liked it :) thanks for sharing your feedback

My pleasure, glad you liked the recipe :)

That's a great replacement Beetie :) Glad you liked the recipe and true we can't eat Biryani all the time, I mean I wish :P Thanks for sharing your feedback, really appreciate it

I will definitely look forward to your feedback :)

That's a great tip, thanks Jay :)

Thank you so much ☺️

I used the Vegan yogurt for this specific recipe, but you can use either Vegan yogurt or curd

Thank you so much Puji😊 Nice to see you here :)

Sure I will work on a couple of more rice recipes, I have a couple of good ones :)

My pleasure :)

Thank you so much ☺️

Thank you so much :) :)

It is mentioned very clearly in the title and the description that it's a Vegan Yogurt

I used the vegan coconut curd for this recipe, but you prepare this without that too :)

Thank you ☺️

I used the tofu directly for this recipe, but the one I get here is really good, and I rarely have to press it :)

thank youuu :)

It's both, for flavor and for the color

It's an Iranian Afghan spice it's lovely

It's vegan coconut yogurt

Don't think so, they are a local Uruguayan brand

Yes mushrooms are Vegan

​@@Foodotomicno they are not

​@@LailaQ... Yes, they are. Fungi are not animals.

why do you say that Rachel? what makes this not Vegan?

Yeah that's why I have used Vegan Yogurt, it's mentioned even in the title :)

Yes

Why wouldn't it be?

@@GlauberLCR exactly :)

Do you even know what vegan is or just came here as a troller?

Rice isn't vegan according to the vegan society

She used vegan yogurt

You can always add or remove the vegetables of your choice Donna :)

It's Vegan, Used the Vegan Yogurt to prepare it :)

@@Foodotomic thank you for clarifying it

I used Vegan curd - and clarified it in the title too

Yeah I know that, the title says it's made with vegan yogurt

Why would you say that Protap?

It is Vegan Yogurt Hems, I mentioned the same in the description section too :) now a days we get a lot of options for both Vegan curd and yogurt.

@@Foodotomic i never heard of vegan curd before. Very much interested to know about it. You can save my life. Where can I get it ? What is it MADE WITH ? 100% lactose free???

There are multiple youtube videos where you can prepare at home. You can use plant based milk to prepare it. I ll find the link and post it here soon

@@hemsalap kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pL51h6xoksebZ3k.html - check out this link - there are other videos too

woah youre easily triggered. is it that hard to assume VEGAN yoghurt. It exists ;)

Used Vegan Yogurt

It's 100% vegan and there are a lot of different styles Biryani is prepare in India and every style is suthentic in itself
