Hi All,
I'm looking for a Chicken Biryani recipe too. But the link on this page doesn't work.

Anyone have any good BIR Chicken Biryani recipes?
Thanks,

There must be several recipes on this resource-rich website. I'd be surprised if there are not. It must be worth spending a few minutes digging around.
Method 1: type two words into the search box and press the search button. The two words I used were 'chicken biryani'. That came up with one recipe which may be the same as:
Method 2: try the original link again, perhaps on a different computer. It worked for me! But it referred in turn to a second link, so you could try this:

OK, use the search facility. Point taken :)
When I click on the link you posted - I get error 'The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you'.

Ah, it may be that's because the recipe is by an ex-member who fell out of favour, as has happened to VERY FEW people here. As one of the longest-standing members, perhaps I happen to have access to the archive holding that recipe, whereas you may not. I'm not sure but that could be the reason. In that case, I'll have a look around for other biryani recipes later and will list any I find here. I hesitate to copy and paste the recipe here in case it's frowned upon, unless given clearance to do so! I hasten to add, this forum is a generally very friendly and informal place. Incidentally 'welcome'! It really takes some effort to fall out of favour and get your recipes banished to a restricted archive!

I hope you can access most, if not all, these pages. There's plenty of info and leads on biryanis including a link to a very good video recipe:

You make it sound like your link is a further suggestion, with no acknowledgment that I'd already listed it and had even mentioned the video!
If anyone has any further/new links, then please list them.

Sorry George - i scanned your list and though this one was not their.
i was impressed by this video and remember it as it's in Budapest which is a place i fancy going at some point.
Apologies just trying to help,

Yes it's a very good video, I agree. Well worth watching...
I recommend Budapest as well. I can't say I noticed any Indian restaurants there, the last time I visited c1999 but I did go to a superb Hungarian restaurant called 'Gundel'. At that time it was top notch cuisine and good wine at quite reasonable prices. The opera was good but low cost, also.

George,
Budapest is growing on me all the time.
on the Biryani there are few musts for me: omelette, banana fritters, off bone chicken and a good madras curry sauce - heaven.

These places change all the time but I'm sure Budapest is still worth a visit. It's 10 years since I was last there. I flew into Prague (an even better place), then I travelled to Vienna and Budapest by Rail and flew back from Budapest. It's a good route.
Do you mean you like banana fritters and stuff on top of a biyani? Everyone to their own! Of course, there's always the accompanying BIR veg sauce to contend with as well. I still haven't cracked that one, or even spent very long trying. Is that what you call 'Madras sauce'?
-
Very much agree on Prague (No 1 spot) and the rail sounds a good idea - banked for future, thanks
banana fritter on the side ie with the rice. the BIR veg sauce is very different to a curry sauce or what i call madras sauce (curry sauce madras hot). i don't actually like the veg sauce even though it contains all the veg i like - i feel it's more towards the traditional cooking.
the madras sauce is king for me.
the trouble is now for fshakoor and myself along with others we really need to know which is the best link to follow. i'm ready to give it a go too.
has anyone tried the link recipes or got any thoughts on which is likely to be best in terms of getting closest to BIR.

I'm sorry but I haven't tried any of them yet. They've been on my 'to do' list for too long.
-
sentiments entirely - for me we need to get off the base stampede to free up time to get onto the delights
half term is coming up for us and probably a good time to give it a go.

I make a Biryani with a portion of my pilau rice http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=2118.msg26811#msg26811, Heat a little veg oil in a wok, add rice, 1/2 Tsp of Garam masala and 1/2 tsp turmeric, along with a portion of chicken tikka chopped(subsitute for plain chicken/lamb/prawns etc) and heat through,for a couple of minutes.then garnish with sliced tomato and cucumber. I serve it with a veg curry made from cabbage,peas,carrot,onion made to a medium curry recipe.
Sometime i throw in some onions a and sultanas too.

Heres a lamb tikka biryani made to the recipe above

Robin,
it sounds a bit too quick of a way to make without loosing some of the flavour. how does this quick method compare against the real McCoy.
-
I can see what you mean,it is pretty simple,compared to a BIR biryani though i think it tastes spot on,its the frying of the rice that gives it a real bir taste with the spices. the only other biryani recipes i've got from cookbooks are the banquet type affairs that are a lot more like home cooking with lots of ingredients such as rosewater etc.
I think I chucked some flaked almonds in too which i forgot too mention,I made this one up just from deconstucting one i'd had out, i might try cooking the rice with chicken stock instd of water next time though.
-
Robin,
thanks, will have to add it to my list (so as to compare the quick and the long).
i would go more for making pilau rice than use stock. i use stock in my normal cooking and works well in the right place - i'm not sure on this one but i'm no expert yet.
i know the taste i'm after and it may well be more than a pilau. i need to experiment a little. i can't remember what the Budapest video used - this would be my guide.
