The biryani spice powder is different and very flavourful. It imparted a very nice aroma to the biryani. Thank you for posting such a lovely recipe.

I just wanted to say, I made this Malabar Chicken Biriyani and it was fabulous!!! :) :)<br /><br />I have made biriyani before but it was time consuming and unfortunately partial disasters! lol... I burned the chicken once...<br /><br />your recipe is quite easy to follow... I scaled down the recipe to half, coz I was using only half kilo chicken... and also I dint have enough time to give it for marination, so I tried a short cut by poking the marinated chicken pieces with a fork and put it on Auto defrost mode in the microwave... :P hah.. It seemed to do the trick.. I guess it worked coz I was using only half a kilo... Im not sure it will work with large quantities.. or will it? :P <br /><br />But I followed your instructions to the t... and Im really happy to say that it was perfect! Everyone in the family, including my mother, who is not much of a chicken biriyani fan loved it... <br /><br />I want to thank you for sharing your recipe... :) I have a blog of my own.. its not a food blog...I write just about everything in it... I began writing it recently for personal reasons... and I would love to mention your recipe in it...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23122419.post-70748367771098916252010-12-11T23:31:45.449-05:002010-12-11T23:31:45.449-05:00Hi Shaheen,
