It looks terrific! I have only tried biryani with gravy once in an afghani restaurant and this too looks gorgeous; I have been a huge fan of you for about a year now but this is the first time I’m writing, and I have yet to try a recipe but I think you are a great inspiration Shilpa and I love your stories behind the recipes- I would love to be a culinary queen like you! Take care Shilpa, and I would love to hear from you. Keep posting!

This is for Veda. Spanish saffron is the best saffron in the world. The one available at Indian stores seems to be mixed with something. If you have Trader Joe store in your city, they have imported Spanish saffron.

Nice one as usuall from you.
Just check one thing….
the spices to be tied in a muslin bag and the paste to be ground….
I feel their headings have been interchanged…probably a typo.
Even the pics show it otherwise.

Yes, that would give the required meaty taste Sig. Good idea.

I saw this on Fb and I’ve been drooling. Haven’t had biryani in a long time. And that gravy recipe looks interesting, I love the restaurant gravy, but never know how to get that meat taste without any meat in it. I will try your gravy recipe with chicken stock instead of water, that might make it a bit more “meat-y”, what do you think?

I think same amount of spice should be good.
