Bumbi, bless you! I have been eating biryanis of all types for the past 40 years in some of the very best Indian and Pakistani restaurants, and I have tried to make a good one every now and then over the past 15 years with never a good result. I'm very dedicated. I have a proper wet grinder and love to make idli and dosa for the family, I make a proper sambar using my own masala mixture, and make fragrant basmati quite a lot, but bringing together perfectly-seasoned and -cooked basmati with perfectly-seasoned and -cooked meat in one dish has eluded me with great frustration. I followed your instructions in this video and the result was the finest biryani of any kind I and my adult son have ever had. Every aspect was spot-on perfect and delicious. There was no other way to relish this dish properly than to eat with my hands, as I had been taught to earlier in my life. The act of gathering a mouthful with one's fingers and eating entirely with one hand adds another set of judgments to the assessment of whether the dish was properly prepared or not. I am so very proud to have made an excellent biryani with your most masterful help, Bumbi. From now on I follow your videos first. Take care, and keep up the most excellent work! 🙂
I am so very happy to hear that. Glad you found the video useful but all the credit goes to you as you put in all that effort into making it. Biryani is really very tedious to make but it is highly rewarding. Regarding wet grinder, I’ve been longing to buy that for many years. What brand you are using please may I ask? Are you satisfied with the product ? Thanks .
@@CurriesWithBumbi It was actually quite difficult, as I am recovering from spinal surgery and any movement is painful, even with strong medication. I had help with bending and lifting and also moving anything over 10 pounds, but I saw your video and just could not wait any longer! Worth every minute of effort, and I can't wait to do it again soon. I bought my wet grinder from Amazon for two hundred. It's called the Premier Small Wonder Table Top Wet Grinder. The wet grinder has exceeded every one of my expectations. I HIGHLY recommend it. Just never make the mistake of conching chocolate in it; there is a separate stone-bottomed bowl for that. The difference in texture between blending and wet grinding idli/dosa batter is immediately noticeable between your fingers when you mix in the salt after fermentation. Smooth as silk, not gritty at all. Another thing I do is I smooth a Chinese ingredient called Pi Xian Dou Ban Jiang that has broad beans and whole spices and rough-chopped chilies. I make it smooth using the wet grinder and that makes the ingredient easier to use in more sauces. I hope this helps. Thanks for all of YOUR help, Bumbi!!
The Pakistanis in Punjab side don’t make biryani thy don’t make biryani thy make meat or chicken pulav, Karachi side make biryani because loads of Indians from west and noth moved there during partitions! Bye from Leeds city!
I have tried making Biryani for my son multiple times in the past following recipes of well known famous chefs but could never perfect it. My son , who is a picky eater and has a high standard of taste for food, is finally eating the biryani with this recipe. Thank you Bumbi. You saved the day for me. Your perfect and unambiguous instructions makes it possible to make this Biryani taste as good every time I make it.
Thank you for the detailed instructions! This is my first time attempting Biryani and my family said it was like an Indian restaurant food. Thank you for the time you take to make these wonderful detailed videos. Your humor and calm voice are charming. My family are actually amused by your humour while I have your video repeating in the kitchen while I work.
Thank you from California USA. I love your style. I’ve had home-cooked Indian food, which was incredibly delicious. I did not know those flavors. Thank you for sharing. I will be trying this. I too do not like food coloring. If the food is good, it does not need to be colored. 😊 I prefer natural food. No colors needed.
This has to be the "ACE", of how l have seen this prepared and cooked. That soothing relaxed commentary helps too❤You are so skillful and knowledgeable Bumbi❤. Still waiting for that cookbook. Bless you for giving up your precious life time👋👍🙏🙏
I never got tired watching this recipe. This is my second time to cooking chicken biryani; the 1st time it was much appreciated by all my invitees, but I am realizing that there's still way to improve...Don't worry I have not yet made a disaster😂 My name is Donatien Ngabo from Rwanda, Kigali in East Africa
Welcome 🙏🏾, I am glad you are here and I am so happy to know that you are tried this recipe. Practice leads to perfection when it comes to such recipes and you are doing the right thing. Thanks so much.
I really love your detailed explanations. I love making biryani and you are right about the potatoes. They are so good. I have watched and read so many recipes for chicken biryani and you have added techniques I was not aware of. Thankyou for such a detailed explanation and it’s wonderful having this available in English. I seriously love your recipes. Thanks so much.
I tried this recipe today. It was wonderful!! ❤ Wife went crazy Some tips for others who want to try: - Make a little more barista (fried onion), use a spoonful of barista while making ginger garlic paste. Use this in marination. - Scoop out some oil from the barista to sprinkle over the rice once its been layered over the meat - While boiling the rice, you only need green cardamoms, cinnamon, bayleaf, salt and coriander leaves to get the fragnance. You can add a scoop of the Kurma (the gravy of the chicken) into the boiling water. I added Knorr chicken bullion to the water to make it taste better. - Each variety of Basmati rice takes different time to boil so you need keep checking for done-ness. Thanks Bumbi!
Oh Joy Bumbi, a perfect performance making the Biryani!! My mouth is absolutely watering and my heart is beating quickly wanting to get started cooking this. It is so beautiful and thank you for your clear, concise directions! The rice looks wonderful. You're the best ever Bumbi, and I so appreciate your time and devotion. Love to you!
Thanks so much for watching this video inspite of being a vegetarian. Always appreciate your love and support for this channel. Have a lovely weekend my friend.
We r not use coriander and chilly poweder. Only green chilly garam masala, biriyani masala and green chilly-ginger - garlic paste and yogurt...nice cooking and presentation ❤
Bumbi!! You are a great teacher and my Biryani came out delicious and looked just like yours.! I’ve never made it before and was afraid to try cause it looked daunting. But I cooked and played the video over and over, it felt like you were right there guiding me. The flavors of the chicken, the Fluffiness of the rice, the sauce soaked POTATOS, the beauty of the dish….Well done Bunbi, thank you so very much!!! Your detail and commentary are top tier!!
I cooked the food I was lucky enough to get the ingredients near by.The food is delicious I didn't put the potatoes but still delicious everyone in my family happy.❤🎉😊
Bumbi hi my dear. I just made this biryani again for some Saudi visitors. It’s an absolute hit. ❤❤❤The potatoes are the best. I did also sprinkle half a cup of boiled brown lentils over the rice when steaming These flavors take me back to my childhood days and my mums cooking. 🎉🎉🎉🎉thank you
I tried your dish and it exceeded my expectations … simply amazing. You don’t know how much help this is to novice Cooks… thank you so much, God bless you ❤
I cannot emphasise how amazing this recipe turned out! Yes it’s absolutely a labour of love as it took me hours to make, but it was worth every second! Everyone loved it and kept raving about it. Thank you so much Bumbi for this delicious and heartwarming biryani recipe! Simply amazing
LOVE THIS! Finally an authentic Biryani of it all cooked together for the flavor and texture!!!! I love this in India when I go, and now learning to make it for my family wife and children! Much love and thank you! Subscribed to the channel!
I’m now on the quest for shan masala! I Love these instructions so thank you for taking so much time with us! Any chance you could make a printable recipe? I write it all down each time but this is a long one 😊 or better yet just get that cookbook going! 💕💕💕
I made this 2 weeks ago n my daughter loved it soooo much( hard to please her palate) going to make again since she requested for it again. Thanks Bumbi!
OMG..Bumbi you have outdone yourself, nobody that I have watched has every done such an incredible biryani❤, just a quick Q I have a glass top stove, so what temp to cook the biryani and how long in oven? ❤
You can put on dum on glass top stove as well. Just keep the heat as low possible. So do 5 mins of high heat and then reduce heat to very low and keep it for 15 minutes. If using oven, put it in a 350F preheated oven for 15 minutes .
Fabulous Recipe! I really like the calmness in your voice & your detailed explanations & tips! Looking so forward to make your version of briani. 1 confirmation though, did you say 600 grams of rice for 6 to 9 servings please? Thank you so much! ❤❤❤
@suchitachiniah52 thanks for watching. 600 gms rice and following this proportion it is good for 6 to 7 people. Please check description box for more details
Looks amazing Bumbi 😍Excellent step by step video 👍It really is a perfect chicken biryani. We love potatoes and especially in biryani. I really like the Shan mixes. I used to use them a lot. Some of them are very spicy. Luckily I still have some kewra water left after the spillage that I told you about. The smell just never goes away 😩I have some Deer Brand Biryani Flavor that I have never used. I just have this tendency to pick up things that interest me. Thank you for the wonderful recipe. I hope you have a lovely weekend ❤
Dear Bumbi, what an excellent recipe. This was my first time trying to cook biryani at home, I followed your recipe, and the biryani was one of the finest I ever tasted. The texture was just right. So delicious! Thank you and I'm going to cook chicken madras next.
Years ago in UK British Indian Restaurant they put an omelette on top with sliced cucumber and tomato. Some grated coconut. Really nice, give it a try.
Chicken Biryani is my husband’s favorite dish I make His favorite styles Are Sindhi biryani and Malay. I’m going to try your recipe and see what he thinks. Thank you
Thank you 🙏 Miss for this wonderful delicious recipe! I loved the way you explain your recipe. You’re truly the best! Keep up your amazing cooking! I have always been looking to cook biryani dish, I now found the perfect dish to try. I truly love 💕 your cooking. Thank you!🙏❤️🌻🌹
Thanks Bumbi. A detailed explanation for biryani which is much appreciated. Oh and potatoes in biryani is a must … to me anyway …😊 I will have to muster the energy and motivation to make this awesome biryani - I’m sure it’ll be worth the effort. 👍🏽
Your voice and manner is so calming. Listening to you is like getting a big warm hug. You are a delight! Thank you for sharing your expertise. I am excited to try this recipe tomorrow and will report how well it turns out.
My education continues. Thank you, Bumbi! 🤤This is my Sunday, this week. Before it happens, I thank you for my family's Sunday...my youngest (16) thanks you extra because it will also be his lunch Monday, at school. His friend's have been jealous of his lunches for years. Me, I just like to eat real food; else I'd rather starve.
Thank you for this fantastic recipe Bumbi. I already had my mum’s and my own recipes. So I came here looking for the perfect recipe for an office Christmas biryani. I did as you said except adding full potatoes but rather sliced fried potatoes & tomatoes. Came out soo well & earned high praise from my colleague & kids. Will proudly add this to my collection!
I’m a Hyderabadi Biryani lover but the more I look into Biryianies matter the more I see there is no strict rules depending on the area it’s made wheter it be in India Pakistan or South Indian islands or even Thailand where they have biryiani.
@@xinjoy6236 it was just a joke. I guess you aren't aware of banter between Hyderabadi and Bengalis about their biryani. No hate here just banter 😹. Even @CurrieswithBumbi would agree. I have tried many different Biryani's we get in India and all have different flavours and Hyderabadi and moradabadi being my favourite
I don't wash it either. I usually start by: dry frying cumin seeds: add oil, (virgin olive usually): coat the rice in the oil: pour in the water 2:1 water:rice: bring to a boil, cover, lower heat and leave for 10 minutes.
@@xinjoy6236 garam masala in pasta. Quel horreur! My Indian sister in law has switched from using ghee to either coconut oil or olive oil in Indian cooking. The spices mask the taste. I just followed her example, and found that my basmati rice never turns out right if I soak the rice.
I have cooked chicken, mutton & beef briani over all these years thru my mom's LIVE style and way of cooking - not thru internet or you tube etc. But i must say and commended you on your easy and soft explanations, you make it so simpler and no fuss and walla it's done ! I am salivering now 😋 Will surely try to follow the steps/style done by you 😊
I seriously thought I was burning this, but I soldiered on and BAM! This is a party in my mouth. Profound flavors. I used sweet potato. They were caramelized and soft. Oh my. Cook this now.
I've made biryani a handful of times now by following other YT recipes, and whilst the results improved slowly with each attempt, the biryani I made last night following your video definitely trumped them all! I learned a few tips from you that made me realise why earlier attempts where a bit lack -lustre. One was not using enough yoghurt for the marinade to create that luscious masala, and the other was not using enough oil when starting with the cooking. These elements created lots of moisture and flavour in the final dish. I added potatoes for the first time, and they are quite delicious! I also made the yummy raita (although not enough apparently, as it went very quickly). I enjoyed making my own garam masala, biryani masala and chaat masala to bump up the freshness of the spice flavours. Thank you Bumbi!
I have tried a lot of recipes but this one was next level. Oh my god it was the best biryani I’ve ever tasted and that includes many from proper restaurants. Thank you Bumbi! ❤️
Making Breyani is an art I just love you recipe...I wish you were my neighbour as Breyani is my favourite dish...but have never been able to make it properly myself
I have been searching and cooking Chicken Biryani recipes for over 12 years, it's been getting better with time. But not perfect. Your method of preparation looks very different, especially with what you do with the onions and rice, two essential ingredients in a Biryani (I have used potatoes in a Biryani before and I do agree with you, if done well, they are sometimes even better than the chicken). I am very excited and now and want to give your version a try. I have subscribed to you and can't wait to make it :)
Thank you for all your kindness and effort with this recipe. Your calm and specific steps are helped me understand the whole recipe. I’m Korean and ever since I tried Indian food, I've been craving it often and stared looking for a briyani recipe… Your video is wholesome, but I think finding spices will be the hardest part. 😢😢 - ginger-garlic paste (ok) - Any biriyani masala (shipping available) - unflavored plain yogurt (ok) - kashmiri red chilli power (shipping available) > but maybe I could try this paprika powder in my kitchen instead - turmeric powder (shipping available) > I searched that Korea also has 강황(ganghwang)(different type of turmeric in India), but I think using India turmeric could be better… - ground coriander (ok) > I think this is ok to use Korea coriander called 고수(gosu) - chopped coriander-mint leaves (ok) - saffron (shopping available) - kewra water (shipping available) - basmati rice (shipping available) - bay leaves (ok) - garam masala (ok) - shahi jeera (unavailable) There's a long way to go, but phew! Someday I'll really make and eat it. Thank you sooo much for this lovely chicken briyani ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe. I am going to try it tomorrow. I am heading for the closest Indian grocery here in Paris to marinate the chicken overnight. An Algerian loving Indian food. Thank you again !
Truly a real wonderful way of making biryani. A small suggestion from a novice to a master,put the potato halves in water with a little bit of salt for a short time as this will prevent them from pulling in the salt from the gravy. Looking forward to some more of your recipes.

- Make a little more barista (fried onion), use a spoonful of barista while making ginger garlic paste. Use this in marination.
- Scoop out some oil from the barista to sprinkle over the rice once its been layered over the meat
- While boiling the rice, you only need green cardamoms, cinnamon, bayleaf, salt and coriander leaves to get the fragnance. You can add a scoop of the Kurma (the gravy of the chicken) into the boiling water. I added Knorr chicken bullion to the water to make it taste better.
- Each variety of Basmati rice takes different time to boil so you need keep checking for done-ness.

Your voice and manner is so calming. Listening to you is like getting a big warm hug. You are a delight! Thank you for sharing your expertise. I am excited to try this recipe tomorrow and will report how well it turns out.
Thank you. Looking forward to your feedback
My education continues. Thank you, Bumbi! 🤤This is my Sunday, this week. Before it happens, I thank you for my family's Sunday...my youngest (16) thanks you extra because it will also be his lunch Monday, at school. His friend's have been jealous of his lunches for years. Me, I just like to eat real food; else I'd rather starve.
Sending lots of love to your child. Teenagers always look forward to something special on weekends. Looking forward to your feedback.
Thank you for this fantastic recipe Bumbi. I already had my mum’s and my own recipes. So I came here looking for the perfect recipe for an office Christmas biryani. I did as you said except adding full potatoes but rather sliced fried potatoes & tomatoes. Came out soo well & earned high praise from my colleague & kids. Will proudly add this to my collection!
You made my day!! Thanks for trying this recipe and I am so happy that even your kids liked it.
Thank you for teaching me how to cook this tasty biriyani❤ I appreciate it 😊
Great idea!!! Trying with tomato’s tomorrow!!
Being a Hyderabadi i feel If it contains Aloo then its not biryani 😅😂. But i am sure You might made a tasty one.
It is very tasty
I’m a Hyderabadi Biryani lover but the more I look into Biryianies matter the more I see there is no strict rules depending on the area it’s made wheter it be in India Pakistan or South Indian islands or even Thailand where they have biryiani.
@@xinjoy6236 it was just a joke. I guess you aren't aware of banter between Hyderabadi and Bengalis about their biryani. No hate here just banter 😹. Even @CurrieswithBumbi would agree. I have tried many different Biryani's we get in India and all have different flavours and Hyderabadi and moradabadi being my favourite
Excellent instructions and explanations! Thank you so much! I e cooked bryani several times, but this time definitely using potatoes and your method.
This year I have stopped washing my Basmati. Same result as washed except I did get a small stone in my mouth.
Please do wash it as other than starch rice grains do have some impurities and dust that need to be rinsed off.
I don't wash it either. I usually start by:
dry frying cumin seeds:
add oil, (virgin olive usually): coat the rice in the oil:
pour in the water 2:1 water:rice:
bring to a boil, cover, lower heat and leave for 10 minutes.
@@gaiaiuliafreedom first in cooking but biryani with olive oil is very personal ;) like garam masala in italian pasta.
@@xinjoy6236 garam masala in pasta. Quel horreur! My Indian sister in law has switched from using ghee to either coconut oil or olive oil in Indian cooking. The spices mask the taste. I just followed her example, and found that my basmati rice never turns out right if I soak the rice.
clear, easy to follow. NOW i understand clearly how to prepare and cook wonderful Indian Chicken Beryani. yum. tx to you Bumbi.
I am so glad you found the video useful
I have cooked chicken, mutton & beef briani over all these years thru my mom's LIVE style and way of cooking - not thru internet or you tube etc. But i must say and commended you on your easy and soft explanations, you make it so simpler and no fuss and walla it's done ! I am salivering now 😋 Will surely try to follow the steps/style done by you 😊
Thanks for your kind words 🙏🏾
Perfected and erudite Indian cooking! This is my go-to channel for all Indian dishes now!
Thanks for all your support
Food is the language of love, conveying messages without words
I seriously thought I was burning this, but I soldiered on and BAM! This is a party in my mouth. Profound flavors. I used sweet potato. They were caramelized and soft. Oh my. Cook this now.
I am glad you liked it
I've made biryani a handful of times now by following other YT recipes, and whilst the results improved slowly with each attempt, the biryani I made last night following your video definitely trumped them all! I learned a few tips from you that made me realise why earlier attempts where a bit lack -lustre. One was not using enough yoghurt for the marinade to create that luscious masala, and the other was not using enough oil when starting with the cooking. These elements created lots of moisture and flavour in the final dish. I added potatoes for the first time, and they are quite delicious! I also made the yummy raita (although not enough apparently, as it went very quickly). I enjoyed making my own garam masala, biryani masala and chaat masala to bump up the freshness of the spice flavours. Thank you Bumbi!
Glad you were satisfied. I feel a dry biryani is no fun at all, so a bit more of yogurt makes it yummier. Thanks for your lovely feedback
I made it and it was so delicious. Thank you! It was like going to a restaurant!
Glad you liked it
i love chicken biryani, thanks for this recipe.!

Making Breyani is an art I just love you recipe...I wish you were my neighbour as Breyani is my favourite dish...but have never been able to make it properly myself
Try it with this recipe. I am hopeful it will turn out good if you follow this video step by step.
Thanks so much for sharing your recipe!
The best recipes ive ever seen.re briyani...it looks perfect..thank u lady..Australia
I am definitely going to try your recipe! I have been making Breyani for years now, but my rice doesn't come nice and fluffy. Thank you so much😊
Please do try it and let me know. Thanks
I have been searching and cooking Chicken Biryani recipes for over 12 years, it's been getting better with time. But not perfect. Your method of preparation looks very different, especially with what you do with the onions and rice, two essential ingredients in a Biryani (I have used potatoes in a Biryani before and I do agree with you, if done well, they are sometimes even better than the chicken). I am very excited and now and want to give your version a try. I have subscribed to you and can't wait to make it :)
Welcome 🙏🏾, I am glad you are here. Please do try this recipe and send me your feedback
Best Chicken Biryani video on YT! I’ve tried this at home and the whole fam loved it! Thank you!
I am so happy to hear that. Thanks for trying this recipe.
Thank you for all your kindness and effort with this recipe.
Your calm and specific steps are helped me understand the whole recipe.
I’m Korean and ever since I tried Indian food, I've been craving it often and stared looking for a briyani recipe…
Your video is wholesome, but I think finding spices will be the hardest part. 😢😢
- ginger-garlic paste (ok)
- Any biriyani masala (shipping available)
- unflavored plain yogurt (ok)
- kashmiri red chilli power (shipping available) > but maybe I could try this paprika powder in my kitchen instead
- turmeric powder (shipping available) > I searched that Korea also has 강황(ganghwang)(different type of turmeric in India), but I think using India turmeric could be better…
- ground coriander (ok) > I think this is ok to use Korea coriander called 고수(gosu)
- chopped coriander-mint leaves (ok)
- saffron (shopping available)
- kewra water (shipping available)
- basmati rice (shipping available)
- bay leaves (ok)
- garam masala (ok)
- shahi jeera (unavailable)
There's a long way to go, but phew! Someday I'll really make and eat it.
Thank you sooo much for this lovely chicken briyani ❤❤❤
Make with whatever is available at your place. It will still be delicious.
@@CurriesWithBumbi WOW, Thank you for your advice!
I’ll keep it in my mind and try to make well! ❤
Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe. I am going to try it tomorrow. I am heading for the closest Indian grocery here in Paris to marinate the chicken overnight. An Algerian loving Indian food. Thank you again !

I made this the first time and i followed everything and it turned out so delicious..Thank you so much Bumbi..
I am so happy to hear that
Truly a real wonderful way of making biryani. A small suggestion from a novice to a master,put the potato halves in water with a little bit of salt for a short time as this will prevent them from pulling in the salt from the gravy. Looking forward to some more of your recipes.
Great idea 👍🏽👍🏽. Thanks for sharing
