I made this yesterday though it turned out excellent BUT using 2-3 cups of milk not instructed properly as I used only abt 100gms milk soaked with saffron, the bottom layer of rice became soggy 😔😞
Dear Ranveer. Hi. I follow your channel and recipes and love your narrative style. Today I saw Lucknowi Biryani episode of you. Then I read the recipe on your website. There is difference I noticed in both methods. Eg. for marination you have used fried onions. But on website it’s not mentioned. Also on website you have used cashew paste. But in the episode its not mentioned. Similarly in episode you have used javitri but not star anise. I seek your guidance and pls share detailed recipe, ingredients. And process. Many thanks. Your cooking fan. Anand
