Answers:
Try this recipe for lamb biryani -
Ingredients:

450g roast or cooked lamb
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp cashew nuts, roughly chopped
1 tbsp sultanas
800g pilau rice
1l cooked curry sauce
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp hot chilli powder (or to taste)
1/2 tsp salt

Method:

Cube the lamb into pieces about 3cm per side!. Meanwhile heat the oil in a wok, add the nuts and cook until lightly golden, remove with a slotted spoon and set aside!. Add the sultanas to the wok and remove within a second or two (as soon as they've plumped up) and set aside!.

Add the lamb pieces to the wok!. Stir to coat and instantly turn down the heat to low!. Warm the rice either in a pan or a microwave and add to the lamb!. Heat for 2 or 3 minutes, stirring very gently so you don't break the grains (if you can it's better to toss the mixture than stirring as this will preserve the rice)!. Transfer the rice and meat mixture to a serving dish and keep warm in the oven!.

Add the curry sauce to a separate pan, bring to a simmer then add the garam masala, the garam masala, the chilli powder and the salt!. Pour the sauce into serving dishes then sprinkle the biryani with the nuts and sultanas and serve!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

biryani is an indian dish there are many different ways you can prepare it, different regions came up with their own ways!. there is basic biryani with chicken and rice and spices, there is chicken with rice, spices potatoes, there is chicken with rice potates and tomatoes, there is beef and rice, beef rice and potatoes,!. and there are all kinds of different spices you can use!. typically you go to an indian grocery store and you buy a
biryani spice box and u just add that to chicken and *** some water and yogurt i think and cook and then add it to the rice, all the instructions are on the spice box,!. you can also google biryani recipe and find out much more info!.

PS IMO the think that really makes the biryani good is the "rita" which is the yogurt , green onion, parsley, garlic, spices and other vegetables topping that you pour over the rice!. so search on rita too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
