This Biryani Recipe Horrified People
Oct 05, 2020
Biryani lovers are touchy about their preferred biryani flavors, and there have been many times a bitter war on social media over it. However, recently, all biryani lovers joined forces to shame a “horrendous'' recipe shared by a South African food website. Check out the details below.
Food 24, one of the country's leading food websites, had shared a quick recipe of what they claimed to be chicken biryani. However, people did not like the recipe of the royal dish. Made with chicken pieces and brown lentils (whole masoor dal)
Served with sambal and papadams, topped with a fresh green salad, the biryani made many uncomfortable.
“In celebration of Heritage month we’ve whipped up an easy-to-make, scrumptious biryani that’ll have you coming back for seconds,” the website wrote while posting the recipe.

The original biryani is ashamed to see what you have done. Biryani in a le creuset pot, I knew it was downhill from there.

This is terrible. Everything with rice and meat is NOT biryani.

We call this “ Masoor Pulao” and instead of chicken boneless we use mince of any meat be it beef or chicken or Mutton. Biryani can have many types depends on the culture but no biryani has lentils in it.
