Madhur Jaffrey is One of the Leading Authorities on Indian Cuisine. This is a labour intense Dish and the end rewards Are Worth the Time. Especially for Friends that regularly enjoy exotic Cuisine. Those from the U.K. would enjoy Your efforts for this delicious meal quite a bit.To have a go would be brilliant.Especially if the aeromatics are enjoyed. An adult palate dish. If not prepared too hot w/children in mind, they may enjoy as well.

Let me start by saying that I usually LOVE Madhur Jaffrey's recipes and own several of her cookbooks. This one just is not at par with her other recipes that I have tried. I wish I had read the comments before I spent all this time making it. Cooking the chicken with all of the marinade was such a terrible idea...the raw onions (paste in the marinade just get boiled! Ugh!
Also, there was no heat in the dish..the flavors were all mild, sweet, and blah....no complexity at all!
I would give it zero stars if possible. Please do not make it!

Would put a single star as a grace mark maybe..
As an Indian and as an ardent 'Biryani' lover I am very disappointed with his lengthy recitals..
I think easier recipes(methods excist and so should it be tried and reposted..
eg: Malabar/Thalasseri Biryani, Hydrebadi Biryani, Bombay Biryani..
Good luck again..

I am very familiar with with Ms. Jaffreyt's recipes and cookbooks, I have several. I don't know what happened with the writing of this recipe and why Food Network published this like this. The directions aren't even in order nor is it efficient for the home cook even after you re-write it in an order that makes any sense. 3 hours after I started this recipe I finally got the whole mess in the oven! I'm soooooooo aggrivated! I let you know if it even tastes good after this. Food Network? You're slipping. This is the second recipe this week (the first one was Emeril's for demi-glace that is written wrong. I've never had this problem before and you guys are 2 for 2 just in the last 5 days. Shame Shame!

This recipe came out tasting ok, but it was too dry and not worth the 5 hours it took to make it.
