Biriyani originates from the muslims of the subcontinent, this might be channi biriyani, not Muslim style Biriyani!!

Ravula Naresh
Sorry to say I tried your recipe today, but my biryani disappointed me it turned out very mushy, can u give me suggestions where it went wrong?
Sara
Wash the rice atleast 2-3 times to remove all the starch. Soak for atleast 5mins after washing then drain all water. Mushy rice is always due to not washing the rice enough as the starch remains within the rice and makes it super mushy while cooking. This recipe is perfect. Do try again.
Malar
A quick clarification, to toast and grind is it 3 cinnamon sticks, 15 cardamon and 1 tablespoon cloves?
Attempted it a month ago. Received good reviews despite a bit of hiccups randomly when following recipe, noted it that didn't flow with the pictures. It turned out yummy.
Sara Syal
Hi! What garam masala do you use? Homemade or store? If homemade what ingredients is recommended?
Sara Syal
3 times made it and it has come out superb! The last time I made with chicken and in a large pot instead of pressure cooker& it still came out too good! This is now my go- to biryani recipe as it has come out excellent! This is EXACTLY bai biryani from chennai!
Note: the garam masala I eventually realized after readjng the recipe few times was the roasted whole spices grinded.
This recipe is just too tooooooooooo good!!! Home memories! Especially when I used to wait for ramzan for my muslim friends to send some biryani lol!
Ravishankar B
Excellent
