Is Swahili biriyani the best biriyani? 

I’m Pakistani but I grew up in Mombasa so I’ve always gravitated towards Swahili biryani!

TeamSwahili 🇹🇿🇹🇿 we are known for the best biryani especially in znz

Team swahili is just the bomb.(not like ive tried this other birianis though). Btw I tried your mahamri recipe it was good,will make again n post on the website sometime

I have tried multiple biriani recipes but I must say this was the most simplest to follow and so yummy. Legit my pot is empty in less than half an hour good! Definitely a must try, guaranteed to make you want to do it over and over again. Thanks for the tutorial ❤

SWAHILI BIRIYANI all day long! Team Swahili! I do enjoy the other styles but for me Swahili wins! Both my parents are from East Africa so I’ve grown up on this kind of delicious, flavoursome food!

Team swahili!!❤❤ Waay easier than what I grew up making in Mombasa. Simplified same ingredients and great taste. Made it multiple times.

Team Swahili 🇰🇪 all the way!! Yummy 😋

I have tried out many biryani recipes and this is one of the easiest to follow yet the results are awesome!It tasted amazing!Everyone loved it. Thank you so so much..

Team Swahili - all the way. Born in Nairobi and lived in Mombasa too, and grew up loving the days my parents cooked this wonderful dish. Heaven...

Welcome to kenya dear 😍😍😍😍😍 twakupenda we love u in English😍😍😍

I must admit team swahili biriyani love it ❤❤👍

Team Swahili (which would include the coast of Somalia too) are leading, but team Iran (and Afghanistan) are not far behind. The Arabian Gulf teams are also doing well, with their Mandis and Khabsa, yes very yummy! The Subcontinent teams, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka are neck n neck with the Arabian teams. But hold on folks, there is a dark horse in the race and its the Spanish with their Paella and among the ingredients they are using "Zafaran". This might spring a surprise, who knows even the Chinese are in the race with their own BIRIYANI. Nice one!

I am from pakistan living in east africa and i am also biryani chef no one can beat the real biryani tastes from pakistan. And it has very special ingredientes which is hard to create with out hard woek.

JESUS SAID IS NOT HIS WILL FOR EVERYONE TO PERISH BUT IS HIS WILL FOR EVERYONE TO COME TO REPENTANCE

Tried your recipe for lunch... The pot is already empty #teamswahilibiryani thanks for sharing

Hey guys, are you #teamswahili, #teampakistan or #teamindia or even #iran ?

Swahili Biriani all the way🙏 next time try Plain Yoghurt instead of Mala... and jaribu kupika ile ya Rojo chini wali Juu pia ni tamu sanaaaaa😋😋😋😋😋

Grew up with Swahili Biriyani, i like it a lot, but i have tried the other two and they are also good. At the end of the day they are all good, Biriyani Brings people together. #teamswahili

Your soo cute to be honest,also your explanation is good

no saffron?

Thank you so much for the recipe. I have made it the entire family loved it.. Kids and wife.. Now.. I have to cook every week-end, they said..

We've made this several times now and it is always a hit. The flavors of the spice blend are quite fantastic. The cloves and cinnamon back up the cumin wonderfully. The fried onions are also a delicious addition. I experimented a little by increasing the amount of spices by about another third. I also added berbere (1 tblsp) powder and some chopped anaheim chiles. Everything about this recipe is amazing and I thank you for sharing it!

Used your biryani recipe yesterday, with a just a couple different changes - couldn't be bothered to deep fry onions 🤣! Biryani is my favourite, but I always make it too spicy. Yours was perfect my kids 👍. Well done chef!!

I lived in kenya and girrrrl yas #teamswahili biryani!!! they are the best! and you are soo beautiful:)

I tried this and it was easy and the best biryani I've had. Thank you.

Hey Vanessa enjoy your cooking I am an Omani origin was born in Msa and Alhamdulilah I too love cooking all sorts of foods around the globe however when it comes to Biriyani I think the best is Hyderabadi Biriyani in the world at least for me and I'm sure if you try it you will agree with me as well, its full of flavours it has fresh herbs corriander ,mint and the marination period with the way its slowly cooked makes a big whole difference I find the swahili biriyani simply tastes tomato pasty although I do add like some tomato paste in the Hydrabadi Biriyani when I cook for some sweetness but not that much..BTW what is Mala? is it yoghurt?

I have tried so many Biryani recipes including swahili biriyani/zanzibari biriyani and yours is so so similiar to the zanzibari one and it's the best! I made this twice for when friends were over and everyone loved it! It's quite some work but SO worth it

I made my chicken with eggs instead of potatoes... It was so good. And BTW I love swahili dishes

Looks so yummy

Mauritian and Pakistani biryani seems to be similar and tastiest. Swahili one is good too, but looks a separated type biryani.

chicken wasn't seasoned or marinated?

Jesus loves you And Jesus is Lord

Very enjoyable, Thankyou 🙂 I think swahili is soo much tastier.. I luvvvvvv swahil food

Must try..your voice is goals

Pro tip from a Swahili: Blend the Tomatoes,they'll cook faster and the stew is thicker

Lovely food. You look like Nigella Lawson.... or should I say she looks likes you!

I'm from East Africa where swahili language is used and I proud of you to cook our Biriani, it's the best.

i watched an indian making biriani and i must say it was well prepared, took time to marinade chicken...mix n blend spices....etc. it simply seemed delicious though the swahili one looks easy to make

I make fresh garam masala everytime I make biriani and my biriani tastes ajjab I also put little sugar In Rojo tastes good

This was just the bomb..... I cooked this at our women's chama and they liked it very much.

It looks amazing and easy, must try it

Is mala similar to buttermilk?

Let me start off with I love the look of this dish and will be trying it. For me this dish is Rice and curry rather than biryani. The best way to describe a biryani is that it's a pilau rice with marinated meat layered. That said if I made this curry of yours and reduced down enough I would mix it in with the rice and that to me would be biryani enough. But each to their own. Thank you for the recipe.

Iranians don’t know crap about biryani 😂…. Team india .. we had it thousands of years ago made more with the juice of the meat and rice!

Swahili biryani the best Mashallah...am yemeni but swahili biryani is wow. you the BEST

This looks like the biryani that I got in Kitengela. I can't wait to try this recipe.

Aww you upload again b'coz i couldn't watch before. Thanks for sharing your recipes God bless you xx

I'm from Kenya but I don't like swahili biryani, hyderabadi biryani is the most authentic biryani and the tastiest too

Definitely Swahili. Love the sauciness.

She looks like demi lovato

Yes kids in Kenya will like Swahili version because it's sweet and mild. I personally prefer spicy so I'm team Pak all their food is yum ;)

Team 001 thanks for the quick tipp 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

Team Swahili all the way !

Hey love. Tried the veg. biryani and it was a hit!! Question : must one skin the chicken? Can one use kuku kienyeji or it has to be the broiler?

No such thing as Swahili biryani. They learnt it from Indians who have been there for centuries.

Mwanamke unapika wewe mashallah ♥♥♥

Giiiirl u pretty!!! Will try this !! Swahili all the way

Pakistani Chicken Biryani is spicier.😅 Every Biryani is delicious in its own ways.

Team swahili every day

Swahili 🙂

i made it and yeeeah this is the easiest recipe(that i have tried from you tube) so far and the results was ;perfect -very yummy!!i used pure yoghurt instead of mala

My favourite recipe. Easy and yummy. I always follow this recipe.

Im coloured my husband is a Tanzania i love their food all there dishes is very nice some looks bad but the taste yummy

Hi, I was born in Nairobi, and I never heard of Mala that you added. Please tell me what is Mala?

Team india❤

Swahilli biryani this is حلل for consumtion and 100% non content babi 🐷

This recipe the best

Yummy 😋😋😋😋Can you teach us how to make Indian biriyani too?

Lovely

Really nice presentation. Cant wait to try

Team 🇹🇿

👍👍 im teamswahili. A mix breed between an African and Indian and that's how we make our biriyani

Aw you reuploaded again. I love swahili biryani but hyderabadi biryani js hands down the best biryani ive ever made.

Can one use yogurt instead of mala?

Its sacrilege to pass this as Biriyani, if you dont cook rice n meat together its not Biriyani.

You very maridadi sister , I like to follow you I am team swahili🥰

Love the plant in the basket 🧺 behind you , how do you water it without ruining the basket ?
