Being from Hyderabad, I've seen many videos of people trying and failing to make Hyderabadi Biryani. This might be the first successful attempt i've ever seen
I don't think even Josh understands how rare it is for a western chef to make biriyani, post the recipe online, and get approval from the general audience, esp those who are from Hydrabad. I think Josh respects every cuisine, and that's why his approach to a dish is always honest. and that usually takes to good results.
your recipe sounds genuine but you are too fast and can't understand a word you say. can you at least flash the ingredients across the screen or have the recipe in print to follow. thank you!
This is so authentic, believe me or not I have never used nor seen anyone in my family use all of the ingredients in doing a Biryani. He literally followed every single step in doing a textbook recipe for Biryani.
Please note that you forgot the gee in the instructions on your website, it s very important to well get that the milk and the butter needs to go on top, or it won't cook !! Neither the chicken or the rice ( no flavours if the rice cook without the butter it's terrible the spice smells so wrong ;) ) Also there is not enough coriander and mint in gramms, or maybe if you use only the leave it works.
As an Indian, I approve of the recipe. We prefer the raita to be runnier as it goes perfectly with the drier part of the biryani (the rice). Edit - I am aware my approval means nothing, it is just a random comment guys, relax! PS: I like my raita to be thinner, I do not care if our opinions do no coincide. Learn to do the same eh?
@@UnknownGamer-uz5iz i don't think so, or at least we never made one at home. Although if ordering you can just add the gravy from other dishes if ordering those as well
@@UnknownGamer-uz5iz there's only green chutney made here used as sauce and raita as a drink for sipping in between or with each bites so it's too thick in the video
In iraq, we usually make Turshana as a side sauce dish for Biryani, it's a sweet spicy sauce with nuts, never really been a fan of it when I was a kid but it grew on me after I grew up
I made this with my mom and man it was so amazing!!! You can't get enough of it. Only change I did was after switching off the gas, I kept the dish for 20 minutes before opening and dig into it. Great recipe!
Being an Indian I couldn't resist myself giving the respect what you deserve. This is the most authentic Biriyani made by a non Indian I have seen till now. Really happy to see someone like you giving a great effort to make it completely authentic. From now you will be the official given the title Karim Bhai.
@@janetlindsey456 you can watch indian/pakistani chef for easy steps and traditional method even though most western chefs cook great they just follow another recipe they do not cook with their feelings
I am one of the person on internet who rarely comments on any you tube video. But the inner Hyderabadi in me couldn't resist due to the sheer authenticity of this video, especially considering all these Michelin star chefs have the opportunity to travel and learn but rarely comes this close to true Biryani. Truly hats off to you Joshua.
This is just amazing, so many chefs try to take shortcuts and end up with not a good biryani. He has gone all the way with ingredients and method on every every step, marinating chicken, making the spices, fried onions, raita, flavouring the basmati rice, saffron milk for colouring, and putting it all together and closing it up! Beautiful
As an American, I can't wait to try this!! Edit: I lived in an apartment complex that had lots of Indian students, and one day they invited me and some other friends over to taste authentic Hyderabadi Biriyani, and I must say it is one of my favorite things I've ever tasted
@@sach8906 So, you think Awdhi style, Calcutta style biryani are not dum biryani? If this comment was made by an European or an American, I would let it slide, but if you're an Indian, this is the dumbest reply imaginable.
@@saby8765 Sure. You are entitled to your opinion. Let us see who is dumb. Calcutta style is just Awadhi style with potatoes. Both those biryanis you mentioned, meat and rice are cooked separately and then layered which is a pakka biryani. The video shows a true dum biryani which is only done in Hyderabadi style, a kaccha biryani. Also, if done right there will be several layers. Then again, go on spout your ignorance as knowledge and ridicule others based on geography!😁
And people with true taste beds don't eat limpass north Indian biryanis. The raita is there for a reason. Restaurants just make it spicy but you can always get it adjusted while ordering.
1:26 If you are gonna use a blender to ground your spices make sure to cooldown your spices after toasting them. These spices contain oils which are quite volatile in nature so if you are gonna grind them while they are still hot the fragrance giving oil will be evaporated and all you are left with is husk of these spices and your biryani is not going to be that fragrant.
Just use un-toasted grounded spices. The spices will cook in the dum alongside the meat, making the dish even more aromatic. That's how we make biryani.
@@RKNancy yeah you are right but a lot of people don't prefer whole spices and tend to use grounded spices. But still the authentic one requires whole spices
@@booradely6423 a lot of brown people do this, "as an indian, i approve this", "respect from india", "i speak for all indians...", thinking that somehow their approval represents their entire country's interest, like why cant you just say "nice recipe i love it". But i guess that false sense of importance on the internet is important to some people
I'm South African and I live in the Western Cape which is very heavily Cape Malaysian influenced and I hate Biryani because it's so addictive and so good and I just can't stop eating it. We have various versions of the dish ranging from chicken, lamb, mutton and snoek Biryani. And we make the best in Mzantsi. Much love and respect from South Africa.
My husband is cape malay / middle eastern and he absolutely loves biryani, cape Malay koeksisters, boeber, rooster brood and he makes us boerewors. So much from the cape Malay is part of our kitchen and im honored! We can't wait to introduce the kids to it.
This dish was my go-to takeout in college. Indian place near me had lamb biryani for $17, which sounds like a lot but they would bring you a to-go box completely filled to the brim with like 2 lbs of food so I could get like 2-3 meals out of it. Shit was incredible
@@YashviDaga American portions are usually double Indian portions. One plate consisting of two pieces of mutton, one egg and potato (optional) costs between Rs 300-500, not including GST, in Kolkata. Biryani sold on the street is cheaper, of course.
Being an indian i can say that you're totally worth that "uncle" title I haven't seen any foreign chefs making something close to the real biryani Love from india ❤️❤️
most Indian food (such as biryani and samosa and more) isn't actually Indian, It's Persian, and it just became popular in India when the Persians entered India.
Based on your caste name I can tell you know nothing about BIryani lmao, this is proper Hyderabad Biryani, most INDIANS probably never had Biryani even 1% as good as this. You must be from Hyderabad to know good Biryani.
As a Hyderabadi who makes biryani at home every other weekend, I can say that this is the perfect and authentic way to make. I've seen a lot of western people make biryani but none of them are this accurate. Props to Josh. Few knit picks: 1. It is spelled Dum but is pronounced as Dhum. 2. The saffron milk thing is just to add colour to the recipe. So you can totally skip that part if you dont have saffron and just add a little more turmeric. And for the people who cant find the ingredients to make Biryani masala powder or think its a hassle to make, you can find "Hyderabadi Dum biryani Masala" powder in your local Indian stores. You can use that and skip the whole process of making biryani masala.
I might disagree. Being Hyderabadi does not mean automatically one to be knowing biryani by default. I kinda doubt hyderabadi's biryani now if you say that. Really dhum??? Do you speak Urdu?? Kinda making a joke in the name of biryani every weekend.
Imagine you are saying this to someone who is Hyderabadi cooking biryani every weekend. Biryani was never Hyderabadi. The one from Hyderabad was actually Nizaami prepared by the royal chef for you know who. It kinda of people adding their own variations now and saying it Hyderabadi biryani. Someone should also be reminded should be marinated first with oil used to fry onion with spices and then cream and yogurt else whole cream yogurt like in this video.
@@rasheedqureshi9977 Glad that you disagree :) cuz biryani is made differently in every part of the world. But this video is particularly about Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani like Josh said and that is exactly how it is made in Hyderabad. Also, yes we at Hyderabad call it as "Dhum". You are always welcome to Hyderabad to taste our Biryani and hear how we say Dhum. Much love .❤
This biryani is spot on, I love it that you tackled the ‘kacchi’ (raw meat) biryani first! It’s the one that most people dread making. I love that you emphasised the importance of salting your rice properly, some people say it should be ‘salty as the sea’, but I’m not sure you need to go that far. Also, the first yoghurt sauce you made is how we usually make raita in my family but we add a bit of garlic and green chilli to it. The dough you were trying to use for the dum was too sticky, just add a bit more flour and it will be much easier to roll onto the pot. It’s a shame you didn’t ask Vikram to taste test this, that would have been nice to see. Try making a Sindhi biryani with dried plums and potatoes next time, you will love it ❤
I'm from hyderabad and this is exactly how we make it, might use more chillies though and herbs in marinade... I was scared most about the rice part as it is where most of people fail ... , but you nailed it 🤗🤗🤗
Your comment is self conflicting btw. If this is the way then how come need more of this and that. Less of this and that. Did you find anything missing btw. I kinda curious now. Do we as Indians actually understand or just know what is biryani.
@@rasheedqureshi9977 come on... , he is making biryani for first time ... , there is no need to be super strict , yes there might be some things he missed but he got the over all concept right ....
As A Pakistani Whos Eaten Biryani Like Almost Every Week My Entire Life You Sir Have Done It Justice. You've Earned A New Level Of Respect. Brown Boy Seal Of Approval For A Desi Dish Unlocked
Small tip : cook the biryani 10 min on high flame , 20 min on low flame and rest it for 10 min then u can avoid the chicken from bruning other than that as a hyderabadi this is prety authentic 👍 Papa for a reason 🙌
Whoa! Most accurately demonstrated and cooked Hyderabadi Biryani ever cooked by Western Man I had ever seen in TH-cam. While watching this video I had just make an order of Biryani because I could not control it. Great love from Pakistan (Karachi), Karachi is considered main hub for Biryani all over in Pakistan.
Shoutouts to all my fellow South-Asians that rolled in here expecting to be angry but ended up fully respecting what Josh did lol. Well done!! Appreciate the respect you showed the ingredients and dish!!
getting angry at someone for doing a dish differently is the dumbest form of nationalism ive seen. Itd be like europeans getting pissed at Kulfi because its not like European ice cream.
Amazing recipe, just a few modifications for fragrance and flavor - Save the oil you fry your onions in, that is very flavorful adds depth to your biryani - add that oil in marinade along with some fried onions and ghee - smoke the marinade with charcoal, heat up a charcoal, make a small space in the center of marinade, make a small bowl of aluminum foil or use a small ramekin, add ghee, once your charcoal is red hot, add it to the ramekin and immediately cover your marinade, for an amazing smoky flavor - Lastly, while topping the rice add a little pinch or two of sugar (please don't use powdered sugar), some cardamom powder, 2 teaspoons of ghee and onion frying oil, and some fennel seeds to take the fragrance to 11.
He could of easily said it was perfectly balanced but he admitted it could use more salt. He never hesitates to mention when something comes up short, or just didn't meet his expectations. This man is so sincere about his cooking. If we're being honest, he could out cook most of us on his worst day. I definitely appreciate the honesty.
I’m married to a Hyderabadi, and this is legit dude, but way more precise than most traditional cooks. You killed it man. Would love to see you do more Indian recipes like this. Kerala Beef Fry??
I worked with a gent from Gujarat India for many years, and sampled several of his native dishes. Some of which were just absolutely incredible in depth of flavor! But in watching this video of yours, I'm reminded of how complex the recipes can be! Damn! Hat's off to you for your patience in pulling a dish like that off successfully! More complicated than I'm willing to do myself, but certainly wouldn't mind if someone else offered it to me!
This is the exact recipe we have been following for the last 10 years. We are from the Hyderabad and it took a year for us to figure out the recipe. Being a westerner you nailed it man. I am pleasantly surprised…
This is exactly how a person should react to biriyani (eating and making) if anybody has not tasted it, it should be your number one priority. Oh Papa I love you even more after this video.
This is unbelievably authentic. Hats off to you for not adding the "White chef twist" or whatever (like most chefs do) and keeping it the way it should be. Incredible, man!
@@minnow1337 There's recipe enhancements and then there's completely changing the original recipe's flavour profile and calling it the same thing. Far too often it is the latter.
This is EASILY the best biriyani ive ever seen... In India, the riata is liquidy! And I rarely see the mint green curry! You really went all out with this recipe!
The good news is that to make a bangin’ biryani, you don’t need to do a lot of the things Joshua did, like make his own powder. The ready made biryani spice mixes from Shan, are actually super good imo.
give it a go, it's intimidating as I avoided it for years but once you make it and taste it, every second is worth it and it's not as difficult as it looks, just time consuming.
@@julianvickers Agreed. I often use half- Shan masala and half my own spices (the ones I store at home for all dishes). The packet spices are usually V good mixed
I am an Indian, The recipe is totally perfect, that's how my ancestors have been making it for ages, my mum makes it like this, Joshua you've proved yourself and a multi-cuisine chef
As an Indian from south Africa.. n someone who just marinated my meat for breyani.. I approve.. one thing.. next time get lentils (aka breyani dhall) n add to the rice.. that's all that was missing.. raita perfectly done.. but what an amazing video.. thank u Joshua for sharing our culture ♥️♥️♥️♥️
@@MinisterOfAffairs oh guess Ur right thanks for letting me know 👍 Yemen, country situated at the southwestern corner of the Arabian Peninsula. It is mostly mountainous and generally arid, though there are broad patches with sufficient precipitation to make agriculture successful. The people speak various dialects of Arabic and are mostly Muslims (see Islam).
My main introduction to Indian cuisine has been Grandpa's kitchen. After his grandsons took over and made more traditional Indian foods, it opened my eyes to how complex and how many spices go into their food. I wish there was was a trustworthy Indian restaurant around me but I haven't had much luck
You nailed it. Shah Jeera is also called as Zeera or "Black Cumin". Please try Sindhi Biryani with dry plums, Tamarind and Potatoes, you gonna love that. You could skip potatoes and it would be simple Punjabi Biryani
my thoughts exactly. as a white boy from Texas who loves Indian Food and biryani in particular, I am very excited to try making it. it looks time consuming but worth it.
We found out my maternal 2x great grandmother was from northeast India, and have been trying to make more dishes from the region to connect with our heritage. My mom being from Barbados, and also having a thing for Korean food (ate lots at her friends houses in high school), we're gonna end up with a LOT of weird fusion foods. Ive been trying to find recipes for northeastern Indian dishes, but havent had much luck so far. Not sure which region biryani is from, but it'll surely be a stepping stone in our new cooking journey!
This biriyani is from southern part of India.. as for the north east dishes I could give you some hinters if you can tell medish/cuisine.. since north east india is completely different from rest of India
You say weird fusion foods... I say phall with sambal, onion bhajis and Korean fried chicken... Honestly, sounds like my idea of heaven, you know if heaven wasn't bs
@@adithyanmalarmannan all parts of India are equally different from other parts. Even in South India, as a Telangana person, Tamil and Kerala culture very different. Infact, even Telangana and Andhra culture, food are different
biryani in India isn't from anywhere in particular, because all places have their own versions of meat cooked with rice, yk? Hyderabad is south india, but almost every state has their own slightly different iteration of biryani. meanwhile, some northeastern food derives inspiration from Tibetan cuisine as well, while others are pretty much original in their own ways. when u try to delve into "indian food", always remember that it's a huge umbrella term, that way you won't get too confused :)
@@heymradildj Then you aren't a professional in Biryani. As there are MANY MANY people who eat raita. Saying nobody eats raita anymore just removed whatever authenticity you had
@@pizzaparkerhotdogmaguire3225 You're absolutely correct but that is secondary. Now a days the quality of raita which we get from resturant is worse they put 95% water and add 5% yogurt. Thats the reason everybody is used to having watery raita. If you do research in past the Nizams they never add water in raita.
From Hyderabad.. used to run a restaurant specialising in biryani and shawarma. I smiled through the entire video. Lot of fun to watch you at it. 3 tips.. Salt was fine, but the lemon may have been a bit much. You want perfect biryani, you gotta cook in a bigger but way more shallow vessel (thick bottom). Best results come with 2kg+ chicken and rice. And finally, you gotta experiment with rose water and kewra water. Love you bro. You're an absolute delight to watch.
I’m happy to see people not arguing a lot, I’ve seen there are several kinds of Biryani and various areas and even families make it slightly differently.
Honestly I was a little scared because I like Josh but this is a really good receipe maybe the only change I'd suggest is that the oil used for the fried onions will add some extra flavour. So instead of ghee you can just use that leftover oil while assembling the biryani and that will taste even better. That oil can also be added to the marination for the chicken
It is actually the oil used to fry onion is used in marinate and layering. Ghee is on top for the rice along with saffron milk for contrast in flavour. Plus missing Kashmiri totally.
I cook biryani for my family almost every weekend. I just love making it so much it's so cathartic with the smell of rose water filling the kitchen as soon as you open to serve it. Really nice to see Josh making it 😀
Wow Joshua, as a Hyderabadi American-Indian I approve. I love how detailed you were which means you did the right research resulting in amazing colors. When I saw the right colors in each step I knew this recipe was great! Only thing I saw that could be changed is the raita because in biryani it is essentially a liquidy (not too liquidy) condiment that cools down the dish. But raita is also a personal preference and I loved your way! Overall great dish with funny side notes from each step. Ive been a subscriber for almost a month and I love your content, keep up the good work bro!
There is no such thing as "Hyderabadi American-Indian" you are just Indian American, stop trying to separate you Madrasis are all the same always trying to split apart India, this is Indian biryani not Hyderabad.
If you're using a short grain rice or non-aged rice, then you can put a little bit of oil or ideally ghee into a large nonstick pan and kinda "stir fry" the rice in it for about 3-5 minutes. If you can, use the pan to toss the rice around instead of a spatula, and if you're gonna use a spatula, use a silicone spatula and be gentle. The key is to get the rice toasty without breaking it. This will give you some of the springy fluffy quality of aged basmati and suppress the stickiness of regular rice
looks soo good! I loved the dhum cooking explanation, i think thats what most chefs (non south asian ones) forget to explain. There are so many different types of biryani, as a Pakistani our involves tomatoes and ofc potatoes, but I love that you added in the raita and the green raita too.
I live in Abu Dhabi now so I made my own southern bbq version. 1. 1 smoked beef short rib till about 185 internal 2. Replace assembly with bbq sauce for the yogurt marinade 3. Used the drippings in the foil instead of ghee 4. Fired onions and garlic in peanut oil. 5. Used the same saffron milk, but warmed in in the drained pot I fried the onions (don’t wipe before using). 6. Cooked rice in the rice cooker 4 parts water to 5 parts rice then spread it out on a pan to dry while the ribs were in the foil. 6, I put a layer of rice down 1st, then bbq sauce and then copied the rest of the assymbly. It’s awesome. Works the same with pork ribs. It’s just way more expensive here than beef.
What would Pakistanis know about Biryani lmao, this is proper Indian style Hyderabad Biryani, most Pakistanis probably never had Biryani even 1% as good as this.
@@debodatta7398 Karachi is famous for its biryani bro and nothing is called veg biryani in Pakistan it's always spicy, fragrant and meaty plus with the addition of spicy potatoes It's worth it I wish to try Hyderabadi biryani one day btw
I’ve never seen anyone make biryani with this perfection in India. What you made is so high end man and ultra luxury. Your Raita and Green chutney is next level.
Oh man, thank you for making this!! We love Biryani so much but always eat the restaurant portion so fast. Gonna double up this recipe and have Biryani for days!
I'm from Hyderabad and I must say after watching this, every other biryani video on TH-cam is now fake and this is the only authentic one out there. Best 👍
Authentic attempt and passionate cooking with a well researched recipe.. you did it man.. you're one of the few youtubers who made it the way it was meant to be made.. kudos to your efforts for getting it right..love from India... ❤️❤️
You should try to have it! its soooo good and honestly the prep and cooking time is a little too much hence would advice you to try it on a sunday! and one suggestion its a little heavy so try to have it for lunch and take a very light dinner on the say day you had biriyani for lunch! I am pretty sure you will love eating it again and again! ❤
Happy to see you making Biryani with all the right ingredients. I know some are difficult to get outside India. We usually add KEWRA WATER drops while cooking rice. ROSE WATER can also be used to give the amazing Biryani smell.
My man, you have my heart! Thsi biryani is basically perfect. I would, though, like to reccommend a secret spice that we use at home called "patthar ke phool". Literally translates to stone flowers and is better found at the south indian regions. It gives the biryani that kick of mystery and makes it just unforgettable!
I have an entire pantry shelf dedicated to Asian ingredients because I make Asian food regularly. And I still only have half these ingredients. This video has convinced me to order biryani from my local Indian restaurant, rather than cook it myself.
Please dont, keep trying with the ingredients you have , only keep the whole spices you need in your pantry, buying the biryani masala packet for 2$ tops doesnt hurt as it will last you probably 6 months if kept in air tight mason jar and you can easily make 4-5 attempts at cooking it (4 portion sizes each)
Some are asking you to keep biryani massala at home and make biryani for your self... Off course you can.. But Biryani is a dish of volumes also... No one makes 1 plate of biryani... In India it's made in big handis... Each feeding about 50-100 people. Preparing just one plate of biryani for yourself is a bit difficult because some of the massala will get stuck to the bottom of the pot... It doesn't make any change if you are cooking for 5-10 people. . But for 1 person it will be difficult
Honestly the best Biryani video ive seen that is made by a non Indian. This is about 99% of the way i make it, honestly he went an extra mile making his own masala and using spices in the water while cooking rice, i used both whole spices for the marinade and some premade biryani masala mixed in the ghee added just before sealing the pot. (i know different regions in india have variations like seafood or potatoes in biryani but this is my way and its an amazing dish) But should have used the dum(pressure) method, I will try out the aluminum foil method to see how it goes since his biryani looked great cuz he is right, using the dough to make a seal gets messy. I have seen some people use a long wet cloth and putting the lid on that then using a weight on the lid to maintain pressure too.
6:51 he is absolutely right. I would have clicked off the video if he didn’t mention this. The sauce is MANDATORY. There is no room for debate. Love the recipe, and you absolutely did hyderabad and biryani proud. Some things I would have done different, but that’s just being nitpicky. ❤
Being from Hyderabad and seeing my mum make this almost every week, you are so accurate, and what’s funny is that I came across this recipe while Biryani was being cooked.
Instead of those sauces, you can simply use greek natural set yoghurt as I do. The flavour of the biryani doesn't need anything else. Also, what you cooked here was a type of biryanni called "Katchhi Biryani". There are loads of ways to do it. Another is to semi cook the meat, pour in enough water to cook the rice, bring it to boil but don't reduce. You then use the water you used to cook the chicken to semi cook the rice. Then, finally, you layer it, i.e. rice, meat, rice, meat and rice. Dhum means steam. You can use dough or you can - as Josh did - use tin foil. Both work.
My girlfriend's dad is from Baghdad and the biriyani that they make during the holidays has sliced almonds and raisins (both golden and purple). I personally think that the crunch of the almonds and the sweetness of the raisins bring it to another level.

Hello guys!
Wow this was unexpected Josh getting an acknowledgement from you guys
yoooo my favourite channel
Hey guys at Banglar Rannaghor! ❤
Kacchi is the king others are just Biriani no filings
I am one of the person on internet who rarely comments on any you tube video.
But the inner Hyderabadi in me couldn't resist due to the sheer authenticity of this video, especially considering all these Michelin star chefs have the opportunity to travel and learn but rarely comes this close to true Biryani. Truly hats off to you Joshua.
Btw be honest is Hyderabadi biryani the goat of biryani?? Tastiest of em all?
This is just amazing, so many chefs try to take shortcuts and end up with not a good biryani. He has gone all the way with ingredients and method on every every step, marinating chicken, making the spices, fried onions, raita, flavouring the basmati rice, saffron milk for colouring, and putting it all together and closing it up!
Beautiful
As an American, I can't wait to try this!!
Edit: I lived in an apartment complex that had lots of Indian students, and one day they invited me and some other friends over to taste authentic Hyderabadi Biriyani, and I must say it is one of my favorite things I've ever tasted
If you get a chance try lucknow biryani, in my opinion, Hydrabadi briyani overemphasize on spices which ultimately suppresses taste of the meat.
@@saby8765 overemphasizes? Hyderabadi style emphasizes the DUM. Spice level vary by region, taste and preference.
@@sach8906 So, you think Awdhi style, Calcutta style biryani are not dum biryani? If this comment was made by an European or an American, I would let it slide, but if you're an Indian, this is the dumbest reply imaginable.
@@saby8765 Sure. You are entitled to your opinion. Let us see who is dumb. Calcutta style is just Awadhi style with potatoes. Both those biryanis you mentioned, meat and rice are cooked separately and then layered which is a pakka biryani. The video shows a true dum biryani which is only done in Hyderabadi style, a kaccha biryani. Also, if done right there will be several layers. Then again, go on spout your ignorance as knowledge and ridicule others based on geography!😁
And people with true taste beds don't eat limpass north Indian biryanis. The raita is there for a reason. Restaurants just make it spicy but you can always get it adjusted while ordering.
1:26 If you are gonna use a blender to ground your spices make sure to cooldown your spices after toasting them. These spices contain oils which are quite volatile in nature so if you are gonna grind them while they are still hot the fragrance giving oil will be evaporated and all you are left with is husk of these spices and your biryani is not going to be that fragrant.
I think you meant fragrant 😊
@@memesaab yeah I miss typed it by accident
Just use un-toasted grounded spices. The spices will cook in the dum alongside the meat, making the dish even more aromatic. That's how we make biryani.
@@RKNancy yeah you are right but a lot of people don't prefer whole spices and tend to use grounded spices. But still the authentic one requires whole spices
How would oil evaporate?

I'm South African and I live in the Western Cape which is very heavily Cape Malaysian influenced and I hate Biryani because it's so addictive and so good and I just can't stop eating it. We have various versions of the dish ranging from chicken, lamb, mutton and snoek Biryani. And we make the best in Mzantsi. Much love and respect from South Africa.
My husband is cape malay / middle eastern and he absolutely loves biryani, cape Malay koeksisters, boeber, rooster brood and he makes us boerewors. So much from the cape Malay is part of our kitchen and im honored! We can't wait to introduce the kids to it.
Whenever I eat biryani I also eat way too much. I’ve never had snoek biryani before, it sounds delicious. Lots of love from Cape Town
@@tfk5566 those are all so good 😊 Cape Malay food is wonderful
This dish was my go-to takeout in college. Indian place near me had lamb biryani for $17, which sounds like a lot but they would bring you a to-go box completely filled to the brim with like 2 lbs of food so I could get like 2-3 meals out of it. Shit was incredible
YESSSS!!!
17 dollars is WAYYYY to much. In India it usually cost 500 rupees, which is like 6$ or smth.
@@YashviDaga they didn't buy it in india so that's not too much. just converting usd to inr, that's not how it works bro.

@@YashviDaga American portions are usually double Indian portions. One plate consisting of two pieces of mutton, one egg and potato (optional) costs between Rs 300-500, not including GST, in Kolkata. Biryani sold on the street is cheaper, of course.
Being an indian i can say that you're totally worth that "uncle" title
I haven't seen any foreign chefs making something close to the real biryani
Love from india ❤️❤️
most Indian food (such as biryani and samosa and more) isn't actually Indian, It's Persian, and it just became popular in India when the Persians entered India.
Based on your caste name I can tell you know nothing about BIryani lmao, this is proper Hyderabad Biryani, most INDIANS probably never had Biryani even 1% as good as this. You must be from Hyderabad to know good Biryani.
As a Hyderabadi who makes biryani at home every other weekend, I can say that this is the perfect and authentic way to make. I've seen a lot of western people make biryani but none of them are this accurate. Props to Josh.
Few knit picks:
1. It is spelled Dum but is pronounced as Dhum.
2. The saffron milk thing is just to add colour to the recipe. So you can totally skip that part if you dont have saffron and just add a little more turmeric.
And for the people who cant find the ingredients to make Biryani masala powder or think its a hassle to make, you can find "Hyderabadi Dum biryani Masala" powder in your local Indian stores. You can use that and skip the whole process of making biryani masala.
Nooooo saffron has flavour 😢
no one cares
I might disagree. Being Hyderabadi does not mean automatically one to be knowing biryani by default. I kinda doubt hyderabadi's biryani now if you say that. Really dhum??? Do you speak Urdu?? Kinda making a joke in the name of biryani every weekend.
Imagine you are saying this to someone who is Hyderabadi cooking biryani every weekend. Biryani was never Hyderabadi. The one from Hyderabad was actually Nizaami prepared by the royal chef for you know who. It kinda of people adding their own variations now and saying it Hyderabadi biryani. Someone should also be reminded should be marinated first with oil used to fry onion with spices and then cream and yogurt else whole cream yogurt like in this video.
@@rasheedqureshi9977 Glad that you disagree :) cuz biryani is made differently in every part of the world. But this video is particularly about Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani like Josh said and that is exactly how it is made in Hyderabad. Also, yes we at Hyderabad call it as "Dhum". You are always welcome to Hyderabad to taste our Biryani and hear how we say Dhum. Much love .❤
This biryani is spot on, I love it that you tackled the ‘kacchi’ (raw meat) biryani first! It’s the one that most people dread making. I love that you emphasised the importance of salting your rice properly, some people say it should be ‘salty as the sea’, but I’m not sure you need to go that far.
Also, the first yoghurt sauce you made is how we usually make raita in my family but we add a bit of garlic and green chilli to it.
The dough you were trying to use for the dum was too sticky, just add a bit more flour and it will be much easier to roll onto the pot.
It’s a shame you didn’t ask Vikram to taste test this, that would have been nice to see. Try making a Sindhi biryani with dried plums and potatoes next time, you will love it ❤
Ain't that Kolkata biryani with dried plums and potato?
No. The recipes and ingredients are different.
Lol chilli in my raita would kill me 😂 I add raita to subdue the spice lmao
One suggestion is to use red onions instead of the yellow onions. Everything else is perfect. Coming from a true Hyderabadi cook. 🙂
Why red we always use brown is there any taste differ or better??
@@zunaira_luv red onions are stronger and a little more acidic. Also we only have red onions in indi
True, red is sweeter too, a bit more pricey though
we add tomatoes too
and dried plums
Just made this, following every single step. Easily one of the best dishes I’ve ever made.
Great recipe Josh.
I'm from hyderabad and this is exactly how we make it, might use more chillies though and herbs in marinade... I was scared most about the rice part as it is where most of people fail ... , but you nailed it 🤗🤗🤗
Your comment is self conflicting btw. If this is the way then how come need more of this and that. Less of this and that. Did you find anything missing btw. I kinda curious now. Do we as Indians actually understand or just know what is biryani.

Amazing recipe, just a few modifications for fragrance and flavor
- Save the oil you fry your onions in, that is very flavorful adds depth to your biryani
- add that oil in marinade along with some fried onions and ghee
- smoke the marinade with charcoal, heat up a charcoal, make a small space in the center of marinade, make a small bowl of aluminum foil or use a small ramekin, add ghee, once your charcoal is red hot, add it to the ramekin and immediately cover your marinade, for an amazing smoky flavor
- Lastly, while topping the rice add a little pinch or two of sugar (please don't use powdered sugar), some cardamom powder, 2 teaspoons of ghee and onion frying oil, and some fennel seeds to take the fragrance to 11.
Excellent points to enhance flavour with a few simple tweeks, yumyum

Josh, I think you have finally made a recipe so fiddly and with enough potential pitfalls, I don't think I have it in me to make it. Excellent work.
The good news is that to make a bangin’ biryani, you don’t need to do a lot of the things Joshua did, like make his own powder. The ready made biryani spice mixes from Shan, are actually super good imo.
give it a go, it's intimidating as I avoided it for years but once you make it and taste it, every second is worth it and it's not as difficult as it looks, just time consuming.
Not so difficult. Try spending some time over it, once you get into the groove, it will become easier! All the best!
@@julianvickers Agreed. I often use half- Shan masala and half my own spices (the ones I store at home for all dishes). The packet spices are usually V good mixed

You nailed it. Shah Jeera is also called as Zeera or "Black Cumin".

I think thats called Pulao and not biriyani
@@v-o7429no dumbass when have you ever had a pulao with dry plum 💀
There's no such thing as easy Biryani, but the authentic part is there
my thoughts exactly. as a white boy from Texas who loves Indian Food and biryani in particular, I am very excited to try making it. it looks time consuming but worth it.
We found out my maternal 2x great grandmother was from northeast India, and have been trying to make more dishes from the region to connect with our heritage. My mom being from Barbados, and also having a thing for Korean food (ate lots at her friends houses in high school), we're gonna end up with a LOT of weird fusion foods.
Ive been trying to find recipes for northeastern Indian dishes, but havent had much luck so far. Not sure which region biryani is from, but it'll surely be a stepping stone in our new cooking journey!
Which part of the northeast was she from?
This biriyani is from southern part of India.. as for the north east dishes I could give you some hinters if you can tell medish/cuisine.. since north east india is completely different from rest of India
You say weird fusion foods... I say phall with sambal, onion bhajis and Korean fried chicken...
Honestly, sounds like my idea of heaven, you know if heaven wasn't bs
@@adithyanmalarmannan all parts of India are equally different from other parts. Even in South India, as a Telangana person, Tamil and Kerala culture very different. Infact, even Telangana and Andhra culture, food are different
biryani in India isn't from anywhere in particular, because all places have their own versions of meat cooked with rice, yk? Hyderabad is south india, but almost every state has their own slightly different iteration of biryani. meanwhile, some northeastern food derives inspiration from Tibetan cuisine as well, while others are pretty much original in their own ways. when u try to delve into "indian food", always remember that it's a huge umbrella term, that way you won't get too confused :)

@@pizzaparkerhotdogmaguire3225 You're absolutely correct but that is secondary. Now a days the quality of raita which we get from resturant is worse they put 95% water and add 5% yogurt.

@@heymradildj even at our homes we never put water in raita in India it dilutes the taste
From Hyderabad.. used to run a restaurant specialising in biryani and shawarma. I smiled through the entire video. Lot of fun to watch you at it.
3 tips..
Salt was fine, but the lemon may have been a bit much.
You want perfect biryani, you gotta cook in a bigger but way more shallow vessel (thick bottom). Best results come with 2kg+ chicken and rice.
And finally, you gotta experiment with rose water and kewra water.
Love you bro. You're an absolute delight to watch.
I’m happy to see people not arguing a lot, I’ve seen there are several kinds of Biryani and various areas and even families make it slightly differently.
I genuinely enjoy seeing all the dishes from different cultures and it’d be great to see Josh continue to make more from around the world.
Well done Joshua. You made my hometown’s food well. Now I trust your other recipes even more. 😁 this was a good authenticity test.
Honestly I was a little scared because I like Josh but this is a really good receipe maybe the only change I'd suggest is that the oil used for the fried onions will add some extra flavour. So instead of ghee you can just use that leftover oil while assembling the biryani and that will taste even better. That oil can also be added to the marination for the chicken
no, ghee is definitely the way to go
It is actually the oil used to fry onion is used in marinate and layering. Ghee is on top for the rice along with saffron milk for contrast in flavour. Plus missing Kashmiri totally.
I’m impressed, he followed all the steps to make a proper briyani without any shortcuts.
This was perfect! Every Indian and Nepali would be shocked at how to-the-point you cooked the biryani! much love from Nepal

I didn't know nepalese make biryani too
I cook biryani for my family almost every weekend. I just love making it so much it's so cathartic with the smell of rose water filling the kitchen as soon as you open to serve it. Really nice to see Josh making it 😀
Wow Joshua, as a Hyderabadi American-Indian I approve. I love how detailed you were which means you did the right research resulting in amazing colors. When I saw the right colors in each step I knew this recipe was great! Only thing I saw that could be changed is the raita because in biryani it is essentially a liquidy (not too liquidy) condiment that cools down the dish. But raita is also a personal preference and I loved your way! Overall great dish with funny side notes from each step. Ive been a subscriber for almost a month and I love your content, keep up the good work bro!
There is no such thing as "Hyderabadi American-Indian" you are just Indian American, stop trying to separate you Madrasis are all the same always trying to split apart India, this is Indian biryani not Hyderabad.
If you're using a short grain rice or non-aged rice, then you can put a little bit of oil or ideally ghee into a large nonstick pan and kinda "stir fry" the rice in it for about 3-5 minutes. If you can, use the pan to toss the rice around instead of a spatula, and if you're gonna use a spatula, use a silicone spatula and be gentle. The key is to get the rice toasty without breaking it. This will give you some of the springy fluffy quality of aged basmati and suppress the stickiness of regular rice
looks soo good! I loved the dhum cooking explanation, i think thats what most chefs (non south asian ones) forget to explain. There are so many different types of biryani, as a Pakistani our involves tomatoes and ofc potatoes, but I love that you added in the raita and the green raita too.
Pakistani biryani are so much more flavorful
@@ulmmini nah bro hyderebad is top of the hill when it comes to biryani whtchu on about

I live in Abu Dhabi now so I made my own southern bbq version.
1. 1 smoked beef short rib till about 185 internal
2. Replace assembly with bbq sauce for the yogurt marinade
3. Used the drippings in the foil instead of ghee
4. Fired onions and garlic in peanut oil.
5. Used the same saffron milk, but warmed in in the drained pot I fried the onions (don’t wipe before using).
6. Cooked rice in the rice cooker 4 parts water to 5 parts rice then spread it out on a pan to dry while the ribs were in the foil.
6, I put a layer of rice down 1st, then bbq sauce and then copied the rest of the assymbly.
It’s awesome. Works the same with pork ribs. It’s just way more expensive here than beef.

You nailed that recipe Papa! It’s the one I’ve been using for years.
Oh man, thank you for making this!! We love Biryani so much but always eat the restaurant portion so fast. Gonna double up this recipe and have Biryani for days!

Authentic attempt and passionate cooking with a well researched recipe.. you did it man.. you're one of the few youtubers who made it the way it was meant to be made.. kudos to your efforts for getting it right..love from India... ❤️❤️
Looks like an awesome recipe! One reccomendation for the raita, if you add shallots or diced onions to it, it enhances the flavour and the texture
I have never had Biryani, but I have been dying to make it. The depth of flavor seems insane! I will definitely be making this soon.
You should try to have it! its soooo good and honestly the prep and cooking time is a little too much hence would advice you to try it on a sunday! and one suggestion its a little heavy so try to have it for lunch and take a very light dinner on the say day you had biriyani for lunch! I am pretty sure you will love eating it again and again! ❤
Happy to see you making Biryani with all the right ingredients. I know some are difficult to get outside India. We usually add KEWRA WATER drops while cooking rice. ROSE WATER can also be used to give the amazing Biryani smell.
My man, you have my heart! Thsi biryani is basically perfect.
I would, though, like to reccommend a secret spice that we use at home called "patthar ke phool". Literally translates to stone flowers and is better found at the south indian regions. It gives the biryani that kick of mystery and makes it just unforgettable!
Erica when would you use this in the recipe?
I’ve been on a biryani-making craze lately looking through all of your older videos about it and I guess I’m gonna have to make one more
OMG, I just made this two days ago
I have an entire pantry shelf dedicated to Asian ingredients because I make Asian food regularly. And I still only have half these ingredients. This video has convinced me to order biryani from my local Indian restaurant, rather than cook it myself.
Please don't, home made versions are better. You can simply buy the biriyani masala mix at most Indian stores.
Please dont, keep trying with the ingredients you have , only keep the whole spices you need in your pantry, buying the biryani masala packet for 2$ tops doesnt hurt as it will last you probably 6 months if kept in air tight mason jar and you can easily make 4-5 attempts at cooking it (4 portion sizes each)
Some are asking you to keep biryani massala at home and make biryani for your self... Off course you can..
But
Biryani is a dish of volumes also...
No one makes 1 plate of biryani... In India it's made in big handis... Each feeding about 50-100 people. Preparing just one plate of biryani for yourself is a bit difficult because some of the massala will get stuck to the bottom of the pot... It doesn't make any change if you are cooking for 5-10 people. . But for 1 person it will be difficult
Just get a normal spice mix from a store and add in extra fresh ingredients that are usually more fragrant fresh.
@@samiatasnim457 oh really? That would be amazing! Ill have to check that out!
Honestly the best Biryani video ive seen that is made by a non Indian. This is about 99% of the way i make it, honestly he went an extra mile making his own masala and using spices in the water while cooking rice, i used both whole spices for the marinade and some premade biryani masala mixed in the ghee added just before sealing the pot. (i know different regions in india have variations like seafood or potatoes in biryani but this is my way and its an amazing dish)
But should have used the dum(pressure) method, I will try out the aluminum foil method to see how it goes since his biryani looked great cuz he is right, using the dough to make a seal gets messy. I have seen some people use a long wet cloth and putting the lid on that then using a weight on the lid to maintain pressure too.
6:51 he is absolutely right. I would have clicked off the video if he didn’t mention this. The sauce is MANDATORY. There is no room for debate. Love the recipe, and you absolutely did hyderabad and biryani proud. Some things I would have done different, but that’s just being nitpicky. ❤
I've been wanting to make biryani at home for years but felt intimidated. Love the way Josh makes seemingly big food projects less overwhelming!
Being from Hyderabad and seeing my mum make this almost every week, you are so accurate, and what’s funny is that I came across this recipe while Biryani was being cooked.
feel very happy too see a foreigner cook indian food so good and knowing the proper terms for indian cooking components. keep it up joshua
The effort taken to make this in authentic fashion ….. Kudos 🎉
Instead of those sauces, you can simply use greek natural set yoghurt as I do. The flavour of the biryani doesn't need anything else.
Also, what you cooked here was a type of biryanni called "Katchhi Biryani". There are loads of ways to do it. Another is to semi cook the meat, pour in enough water to cook the rice, bring it to boil but don't reduce. You then use the water you used to cook the chicken to semi cook the rice. Then, finally, you layer it, i.e. rice, meat, rice, meat and rice.
Dhum means steam. You can use dough or you can - as Josh did - use tin foil. Both work.
Some intelligent people tried this amazing Hyderabad biriyani but you have shown the process of making it more detailed.
My mother in law made biryani for us once. My mouth is watering and I think about the crispy ghee rice layer all the time
More Indian food! Something I've been wanting to cook more and this is definitely inspiring.
First time seeing Josh making in Indian dish - need more of these brother✌🏼✌🏼. Absolute beaut
Not really
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Even YFL approves!
This is probably one of the most authentic recipes for Hyderabadi biryani on youtube. Great job 🎉
Am from Hyderabad, India, I approve
I am Indian AND I made biryani today AND can approve of this biryani recipe.
Love your attention to detail.
You are the best Joshua ❤
My girlfriend's dad is from Baghdad and the biriyani that they make during the holidays has sliced almonds and raisins (both golden and purple). I personally think that the crunch of the almonds and the sweetness of the raisins bring it to another level.
Try out the kashmiri biriyani. Every region of India has its own version and they are all vastly different
Awesome. You got it. Perfect 10. Coming from an Indian Biriyani Expert!
I love how impressed he was with himself when he caught the spoon at the end 🤣
