I've been a lurker on this list for many years and it has taken a very sad and earth shattering event to bring me out of hibernation.
I'm not too keen on my biryani recipe any more. Wait... let me back up. Like every other person on this planet I enjoy a good biryani. Whilst there are many places to get a good biryani, cooking it at home is fun in so many ways. Over time I've experimented with many recipes, finally settling down with a biryani recipe which was shared by a fellow biryani loving friend. It’s been 3 glorious years now and many a polished dish later I have come to the conclusion that I have to move on. I need a change. The biryani that often takes the center stage on my table needs a makeover. Knowing that there are quite a few foodies on this list, I submit to you all a request to share your #1 biryani recipe. What i mean by #1 is that you would vouch for the recipe. Do share a note on why you think its special. I would also urge you to speak to your family (the older the generation the better), friends and other cooks that have served you biryani that managed to pervade your senses and lodge there. The kind of biryani that you don't need to have in front of you to taste. That's the kind of biryani recipes i am hoping to find . Over the next few weeks I can share my views of the recipes I choose to cook from the ones that are posted. Maybe a few more folks on this list will try them and share their views as well. I dare say this exercise can only lead to a better world. Have a good weekend all Julian
