Shilpa, I just tried your recipe for egg biryani and it turned out wonderful. Even hubby who holds on to praise for a rainy day, asked to take it in his lunch box the next day, which means he loved it I used my Mom’s garam masala as the biryani masala but added powdered fennel seeds and nutmeg after looking at your various recommendations. But I think the trick is in your method where all the flavors subtly infuse. By the way, I am a regular reader of your blog and I must say that you have done for Konkani dishes what Julia Child did for French cooking. Thanks to you and your Aayi!

i feel it would be tasty and easy to prepare. However the correct command would be after preparation. I m going to try this today.

Hi Shilpa
I just tried your other biryani recipe (using shaan masala). It turn out really good. But I am not happy with the way the rice was done. This recipe is almost similar except for adding veggies. I will try this. Also will try cooking rice in a rice cooker with less water, so that I can get each grain seperate and well done.

Egg in any form is my favourite. And in the form of biryani, I’m sure should be really awesome. I would surely give it a try. And may be could try out variations in it. The pic itself looks so good. How awesome should it have been in real ????? WONDERING SLURPING

Wow, sounds nice and simple…I rarely get my biryanis right..the rice is either over cooked or under cooked…I tried the ghee roast chicken from your blog and it was fantastic…thanks so much for sharing that recipe…

Thanks for the simplistic version of the more complicated and patience requiring traditional mutton or chicken biriyani. Could not stop short of making one recommendation of deep frying finely chopped onions in ghee to be decorated over the biriyani..I can vouch for the “added” taste.
