Re: What goes well with chicken Biryani? - Party Menu suggestions
Well, since it’s chicken biryani that you’ll be making…then make the kababs from a different meat so that it’s not repetitive. You can do seekh kababs, chapli kababs, shami kababs etc etc.
What we usually make along with biryani is haleem…which like biryani is also a very hearty and filling dish. We also add a veggie dish…to round out the menu and it might be something like palak or saag for instance.
Typically in a desi dawat menu there is one rice dish (biryani/pulao/etc), a salan type dish that can be eaten with roti, a veggie dish, and maybe a dry meat dish like kababs. Then throw in a salad, a basket of roti, and raita and your spread is complete.
As much as I love pasta and especially lasagna and I tend to gravitate toward it, I think that it kinda clashes with a Desi menu if that’s what you’re going for. Desi and Italian are two diff flavors…and biryani is heavy on it’s own…and lasagna with it’s layers of cheese and pasta is equally if heavy if not more. It’s like the lasagna can rival the biryani.
If you rock making kababs…I say go for it. Make some bad-a$$ kababs to go with your biryani and maybe add a veggie salan dish that can be eaten with store bought naan such as chanay/cholay or palak…throw in salad that you can get premade from the grocery store even to save time…whip up a raita…and you’re done.
