anyone tried it?
I made it today, rice def takes longer to cook than white rice, but I liked the outcome. dinn look as nice as what is made with basmati and all..but I like teh flav and texture of brown rice more..plus its healthier
I have made brown rice before to eat with stirfries etc, but today I decided to do the biryani thing
PS: yeah begum has been out of town so I am experimenting all kinds stuff in kitchen
ive been trying to switch over to brown rice. It's easy to do with non-desi dishes but with desi foods I have to have my basmati rice.
Thought bout trying brown rice biryani for some time but was always afraid that all that effort would go to waste. If you say it tastes good...then I'll give it a try as well. :D
AE- thats if you like brown rice, in desi foods its def an acquired taste but i think part of that is because we are used to it being made with basmati, I suppose had we grown up eating it with brown rice we may like it that way.
it def does not look as elegent..period. the more chewy and nutty nature of brown rice takes away from the biryabi we are used to, but it works, I mean I would rather have that than not have it, and I am mostly doing it cuz brown rice is healthier
So, it tastes good? Ive been chasing my mom with a bag of brown rice but she wont look at it. She definitely wont make biryani out of it. She thinks all rice except for the one that she gets from desi stores is "Uncle Ben's" which is apparently an abomination.
psquared, it tastes good to me, but i prefer the taste of brown rice, it has more oomph to it, in terms of texture, def more al dente compared to basmati.
Amazing. For this you get an award. Truly amazing. I can't even begin to imagine what it would taste like. We do brown rice with non desi stuff but never tried it for desi stuff.

made brown rice khichri earlier, and then last week had brown rice with fish curry..it was very fantastic, probably one of my best experiments in the last 6 months
