Be Inspired | Mega Cooking! Huge Biriyani For Over 400 Big Fat Wedding Guests In Bangladesh. 

As an Englishman....I would eat this everyday if I could...The labour and expertise that has gone into this is mouthwatering...

I'm a professional chef in England. Say what you like about the hygiene, but this is PROPER cooking, proper teamwork. I'd love to work in a kitchen like this - I'd have so much to learn from these guys. The obvious pride they take in their work - no corner cutting (the saffron, for example). I probably wouldn't last 5 minutes in their kitchen but hey-ho; I'd probably learn more in half an hour than I have in the past 5years. A fantastic post, informative and insightful. 👍

Big lad was not having any of that food colouring talk, he had a bag of saffron worth more than my wallet😊 Great to share this experience with you Latif, god bless you and yours.

the final product looks out of this world, that chef deserves a medal for cooking the thing then going upstairs to dish it out too lol

❤ As a Bangladeshi woman I appreciate this video. Never seen behind the scenes of a banquet

What a privilege and a great honour to get to see behind the scenes. I would like to thank the chefs and the brides parents for allowing this.

I went to a Hindu wedding reception recently and the meal was wonderful. They carried the food through in the big cauldrons . So much work goes into this. Thanks for showing it in detail. We still use your keema recipe regularly 😊

Love the mass production which ends up tasting like it's been cooked individually. Takes skill 👍

Latif you are amazing, I'm surprised you have not been picked for a TV series, I cooked a few of your meals, your so informative, thank you so much for sharing!!!

This is amazing.. to see how different cultures cook blows me away but to see what I term BATCH COOKING and making it taste perfect is superb.. to get all spices and powders and gara masalas 100% correct is …. I’m lost for words.. love from Doncaster England..

So much respect for those chefs - such skill ( and my back hurts just watching!) thank you for letting us see the process, loving these vlogs

All those dishes looked absolutely gorgeous! I would happily eat it. The smell of the cooking must have been amazing. Thanks for these videos Latif! 😊

Some serious flavours going on here watching the chefs expertly putting all those different elements together is beautiful love this 😋 😋

Love it. Thanks for taking us on the journey. I’m not sure if you know the RU-vid channel BaldandBankrupt. He travels the world and has just been in Bangladesh. Really interesting and the people he met were a credit to Bangladesh. Anyway, nice one Latif.

See how thoroughly they're washing the meats? This is actually normal. In the west it's quite normal for us to go to even a top restaurant and for them not to wash the meat.

Salam Latif, as a South Asian food connoisseur, i thoroughly enjoyed this vlog. You went somewhere where you can experience the Dhaka biryani at its peak, a private function which does not cut corners and usually a little better than commercial/restaurant biryani. As a small correction, i'd say you wouldn't find this biryani in Hyderabad (India) or Pakistan. The chefs there might've told you so, but that is not correct. Hyderabadi biryani for example uses a lot of fresh coriander and mint, and powdered spices and red chilli powder add excessive heat and colour. Hyderabadi biryani is also technically kachi biryani though. In Pakistan, most biryani is pakki (not kachi) style and excessively spicy often with tomato added. Dhaka's original name is Jahangirnagar and Dhaka was a Mughal capital, which means it has had diverse influences, similar to other Mughal cities like Hyderabad, Lahore, Dilli, etc. Dhaka's biryani is unique of its own, and very importantly, it's the closest to old biryani recipes anywhere in the subcontinent, emphasizing sweetness, fattiness and fragrance. One unauthentic element is the potato. Potato addition started in Bengal during British rule and spread to today's Pakistan when it was West Pakistan. As a result, Bangladeshi and Pakistani biryanis are the only ones with potato (besides just the Indian city of Calcutta in West Bengal). The closest biryani to the Dhaka kachi you can find in South Asia is in Lucknow, India.

What’s more beautiful than the food is the Adhan 😍

I can just imagine a bunch of "Elf and Safety" inspectors from the UK going out there to carry out an inspection!!!!!!!

Please keep following your heart when choosingwhat content to create! Everything is awesome! Lots of love from Sweden!

This was indeed very special! Your best video yet! NO ONE is doing this, so thank you very much for being that one guy to document this. This cuisine is so complicated, with so many layers and timing of ingredients it must be very ancient. Generations and generations of trial and error, always improving and refining. Again, thank you!

Great video. 10 of us went your restaurant Friday. Great food and service

Brilliant insight. As you say, cooking exactly like this in London, in a big unit with an open kitchen would be awesome. I think the traditional Bangladeshi Indian restaurants need a makeover and this style is the one. I have a railway arch in Leyton that would be perfect 😂

I LIKE YOUR RECIPES.FIRST TIME I SAW THIS MARINATIONS FOR BRIYANI.FROM CANADA SUBSCRIBER

Chef!! Why do you do this to us. You made me so hungry as I was watching this. Mashallah, everything looks good.💜🇧🇩🇧🇩💜

95% of the Earth eats from places that look like that and everyone is ok next morning. Looks delicious!

Love the behind-the-scenes video here....glad that saffron was used - a fortune, too :-)

I love the sealed pots. I used to do rice like that so it steamed rather than boiled before I got a rice cooker.

Love to see you recreate that in the restaurant!

I love your Bangladesh series and enjoyed this vlog. Keep it coming mate, cheers!

Absolutely love this!

Love it! Thank you for showing us! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you Latif for saying 'marinated' instead of 'marinaded'. I hear top chefs getting that one wrong on TV. Great videos

Amazing - loved this ❤

amazing series! your curiosity and enthusiasm shines through. keep it up

Absolutely amazing Latif.

Great video this is. To see how traditional might eventually translate into a BIR UK curry is fascinating. Mark.

Absolutely awesome video. I love all of your videos and have learned so much from them, but this is the greatest of them. My goodness those chefs work hard, imagine the physical work and the heat, I salute them. I do envy you getting to taste that superb looking food, bet it was delicious. One day I hope to eat at your restaurant, then I know I’ll have eaten great food. All the best.

Absolutely brilliant, thanks Latif very interesting.

Amazing video, thank you x

That was fantastic well done to all the Cheff’s .🖐️

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu dearest brother Latif. Thank you so much for taking us viewers behind the scenes. It must have took you a lot of patience to stay with the chefs for all those hours. We value your effort so much for this upload. Alhamdulillah. 😊

Thx so much for sharing

loved it !

The colour of that saffron rice 😋

Wonderful content Latif! Love the direction of the channel. Please keep it up!

Wonder how we become so overly keen on cleanliness in the west ? It’s mad when you think about it. I see nothing wrong here and would love to try that food !

Wow what an amazing insightful vlog, keep them coming. I look forward to these sort of videos. Reminds me of a wedding i went to in Kerala, where i was permitted to enter the ccoking area. good times

This is fantastic ❤

The charcoal on the ghee to create smoke is an awesome idea.

Yes chef this is a very unique Biriyani, inspired but still very unique.

That was fun brother

Right at the end there I would've DIVED into the pot with that last bit of oil in it lol

Wonderful bro

Ooh This is so nice, Kachhi Biriyani is the only Biriyani. All else is Chicken Pulao/Pilaf.

Nice video but then end was too funny lol “Family didn’t want you to film “ but you already filmed everything haha quality

You are a lucky man my friend 🙏 That looks like fun

Masha'allah

It's an incredible effort, it seems really hard, but the reward must be just as nice.

All that preparation is bound to make for delicious food. Looks a proper posh hotel 👌🏻

I miss Bangladesh

For teh english people here teh other gentleman used the term "Onion Chana jor ... garam" which chef translated to Bombay mix.

Thanks for insight into their cooking skills great to watch and learn! ( Don"t see a rice cooker anywhere haha)

You should come to actual Hyderabad in India for the proper Hyderabadi Biriyani. Thats the proper version.

Assalam alaikum Latif. I hope you are well. When you arrive back in the uk can you please make this biryani using the same ingredients and methods as shown in this video. I would be very interested to learn how to make this. Can you also cook everything that you ate in Bangladesh again using the same ingredients and methods shown during your holiday there as I am very excited to know how it's done. I hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday in Bangladesh. Jazak Allah khairan Kind regards. Saif Jeetoo

You could setup a pub up there for the Brits, (probably more popular with the Scots though), 8 cans of Tennent's, couple of servings of biryani or a curry, absolute bliss. I'm thinking they'd take a dim view of folk drinking, not sure?

What happened to the charcoal they put in to the ghee to smoke,is it removed or just turned to ash?

Did they not allow you film the recipes? That’s what I’ve been looking forward to the most in the video but you didn’t show us the exact ingredients used. So disappointed ☹️

It must of been amazing because i heard that word used a lot.👍🏻

Wonder how many Fly's and other insects are in that food,, Yum.

Wow, thank you for sharing. I wish I could taste it. Would you be able to replicate the recipe?

You considering cooking some of these recipes for the staff?

The reason for my loose motion 29.30 timestamp

with all the spices why oh why add MSG, it's not needed & triggers severe allergies in some people :(

Big fat wedding guests about to get bigger 😂

I don't know why people even bother mentioning the hygiene. You're in Bangladesh, a poor eastern country, not in a rich western country where we can afford to be more picky.

Make plan invest in Bangladesh and make migration..

How would you cook for 400 Latif?

with a little brick dust no doubt...

Pakistani influenced, Hyderabad. Hyderabad is a city in India. Someone help this guy

Looks amazing but, it's the lack of hygiene

talking about hygiene in bangladesh at 40 degrees celsius is i think unnecessary

Brides dad got saffron all over his beard

You mean guests not guest’s!

7:14 How will you bring them over for food preparation (work permit) in the UK, when they have no clue of British standards of hygiene for cooking and health & safety rules? They probably have never seen a professional kitchen even. They will have to learn all the basics first, get a certificate and then bring them over. Otherwise it will be food poisoning and lawsuits.

BO sess pool and id still devour my plate and go for seconds

The man in orange appears to have a stoma which has leaked 😳🤮

Mans throwing the safron water with his bare hands🤮🤮🤮🤮

You proper wedding crashed that the event… joker.

Free Palestine

Looks like the brides father has got saffron on his beard too 😅 Dammmee bro you people love saffron 😂😂

Is he washing hes hands 😂

only ignorant westerners question the cooking conditions, every one else in the real world understands :) and more westerners than you probably think understand and are tied to the chair watching the glorious effort by genuine hard working people . . .you should address the place of women in that culture and the industries too, the whole of the cultural experience and condition. thank you for sharing and becareful in pakistan it's a beautiful place with wonderful people that has more than its fair share of evil roaming around perpetrating treachery.
