This Indian lamb biryani builds its flavor from basmati rice, lamb and plain yogurt, and comes together in about 60 minutes with advanced-level technique. The method starts by marinating the lamb in the yogurt.

Worth the 60 minutes -- this is a weekend project that pays off.

A more involved technique that rewards patience with real depth of flavor.

Built around basmati rice, so the flavor comes from real ingredients, not a spice packet.

  • plus 7 more ingredients

Method
