@TheSquishyMonster Thanks! This is a variation on the normal biryani, and albeit, tedious to make, is a hit always.

[janihiloni]

this looks so awesome!! i will try this one for sure!! Thank you for sharing such great recipes...

[irfandama]

@janihiloni Thanks so much. It is a bit of work, but it is a very unique flavored biryani.

This looks GREAT and nutritious. When I get around to trying this one,... I think it would taste great with Grilled Eggplant and green beans

[irfandama]

@gorikuri I agree. Eggplant however, tends to get mushy and disintergrate. You should use baby eggplant, score them into quarters, living the tip intact. This way, they hold their shape. Let me know if you have any questions on this.

Hi Chef Dama:

I like your style and humor in the vegetable biryani video. Can you please let me know how many cups of rice you used? Also how many tablespoons of ginger/garlic/chili paste did you use? Thanks!

[rashivivek100]

Which blender do you use to make onion/tomato paste? I saw you using Cuisinart in your Dal Makhani video? Which model is it and do you recommend it? Please do let me know and keep up the good work :)

@TheSugarplum770 I got most of these at the local supermarket. Did you try Whole Foods? They have quite the selection.

It also might be because it's winter, and a lot of these vegetable might be out of season.

Where do I look for these vegetables, chef? I looked for 'em at a supermarket here in Austin but could not find anything but parsnips. Please help. Thanks.
