Next silkmeet in bangalore = get together and cook up biryani, mirchi ka
salan and double ka meetha for dessert.
There might be other accompaniments and desserts for other biryanis but as
a hyderabadi i'll stick with these.
And kewda + milk between the layers - its mostly yoghurt and saffron in hyd
biryani. Much more robust than this royal thingy - which looks like it'll
turn out sweeter than I'd really like it.
Your second one is a lucknowi or awadhi style .. simmering the rice in
stock. Very nice.

Update request, please.
Meanwhile, this looks interesting - a Punjabi variation on a Muslim recipe.

I volunteer (in fact, I insist) on helping with the QA parts of this
process.
