It just had the taste of a restaurant biryani. The meat was completely tender and I disagree with everyone who thinks the rice quantity was more, because it turned out to be perfect for me. Please post some more recipes of different kinds of biryani. Thanks a lot..\nMade this twice now and this go around was way better than the last. I too observed that there was way too much rice..insanely so. This time it was closer to reality. What I discovered is 7 cups, a whole bag of Trader Joe's basmati rice was a correct portion for a heavy on the meat ratio. It probably would have been what the original recipe called for. Previously I used a different rice and it was way too much. The rice type makes a difference on volume! Second, I thought more yogurt, about 1\/2 cup was a good choice. I also was concerned about spacey heat with young children so I changed out the usual jalepeno for these weird, milder wrinkled up long green chilis. A mild yellow chili might also work. I used golden raisens instead of prunes to good effect. I would like to use sliced almonds in the future as it calls for it in a good biryani. To make a healthier meal we used organic free range venison and elk for the meat instead of a high fat lamb or goat. It is an excellent change out and usually people comment how mild and lean the lamb is...until we tell them it's free range organic venison. It gets oohs and ahs from the taste-testers. I'm still working on the perfect raita (yogurt sauce) for this dish but it requires additional experimentation. Overall, this is a grear recipe that doesn't require obscure desi ingredients. Everything in the recipe is available at most grocers.\nTasty recipe, too much rice however. I (like others here) would suggest using quarter of the amount suggested.\nMy whole family loved it!  Thanks!","attrs_markdown":"- Recipes\n  - [Breakfast & Brunch Recipes](https:\/\/www.food.com\/ideas\/breakfast-brunch-recipes-6514?ref=nav)\n  - [Lunch Recipes](https:\/\/www.food.com\/ideas\/easy-lunch-recipes-7007?ref=nav)\n  -

I too observed that there was way too much rice..insanely so. This time it was closer to reality. What I discovered is 7 cups, a whole bag of Trader Joe's basmati rice was a correct portion for a heavy on the meat ratio. It probably would have been what the original recipe called for. Previously I used a different rice and it was way too much. The rice type makes a difference on volume! Second, I thought more yogurt, about 1\/2 cup was a good choice. I also was concerned about spacey heat with young children so I changed out the usual jalepeno for these weird, milder wrinkled up long green chilis. A mild yellow chili might also work. I used golden raisens instead of prunes to good effect. I would like to use sliced almonds in the future as it calls for it in a good biryani. To make a healthier meal we used organic free range venison and elk for the meat instead of a high fat lamb or goat. It is an excellent change out and usually people comment how mild and lean the lamb is...until we tell them it's free range organic venison. It gets oohs and ahs from the taste-testers. I'm still working on the perfect raita (yogurt sauce) for this dish but it requires additional experimentation. Overall, this is a grear recipe that doesn't require obscure desi ingredients.

[![](https://graph.facebook.com/v2.5/10155497950294106/picture?type=square)](https://www.food.com/user/2001593398) Made this twice now and this go around was way better than the last. I too observed that there was way too much rice..insanely so. This time it was closer to reality. What I discovered is 7 cups, a whole bag of Trader Joe's basmati rice was a correct portion for a heavy on the meat ratio. It probably would have been what the original recipe called for. Previously I used a different rice and it was way too much. The rice type makes a difference on volume! Second, I thought more yogurt, about 1/2 cup was a good choice. I also was concerned about spacey heat with young children so I changed out the usual jalepeno for these weird, milder wrinkled up long green chilis. A mild yellow chili might also work. I used golden raisens instead of prunes to good effect. I would like to use sliced almonds in the future as it calls for it in a good biryani. To make a healthier meal we used organic free range venison and elk for the meat instead of a high fat lamb or goat. It is an excellent change out and usually people comment how mild and lean the lamb is...until we tell them it's free range organic venison. It gets oohs and ahs from the taste-testers. I'm still working on the perfect raita (yogurt sauce) for this dish but it requires additional experimentation. Overall, this is a grear recipe that doesn't require obscure desi ingredients. Everything in the recipe is available at most grocers. [Troy M.](https://www.food.com/user/2001593398) Reply 2 4.
