Questions

How much water do I add?
375 ml (1Β½ cups) for the 250 g rice in the kit.
How many people does one kit serve?
3 people. Use 500 g chicken or mutton with the 250 g rice. That makes about 1.3 kg of biryani.
How many whistles?
2 whistles on a medium-low flame, then turn off the flame and let it rest for 10 minutes before opening.
How do I make mutton biryani?
Mutton needs longer. Cook it in the paste with enough water till tender, then cook the gravy down to the thick masala you started with. Then add 375 ml water and the rice, and follow the same steps.
Can I use my own rice?
Yes: choose Paste only. Use 250 g seeraga samba rice and follow the same steps, with 375 ml water.
When do I add the seasoning oil?
At the end. Pour it over the cooked biryani and fluff gently: it gives the finished biryani its aroma.
Is there a deal on more packs?
Yes: buy 2 and the 3rd is free, applied automatically in your cart. It works across kits (or pastes), so you can mix flavours too.

I used kaima rice and mistakenly took only 375 ml water and the bottom portion of the rice burnt. I advice that you mention in the product cover that water must be taken according to the rice that the customer is using. All this happened because im new to cooking. But anyway i ate the top portion and loved the flavour.I have ordered wedding bhai biryani from cookd this time with rice. Hope ill make myself proud 😍

All time favourite

Hi , I regularly order from your website, and my most favourite is the biryani kit and madras 65 masala. In the biryani kit my most favourite is amber biryani and wedding bhai biryani. Since I live in Canada your products makes me feel closer to Chennai. Thank you! Can’t wait to try the kerala and guntur masala this time!

Trying Cookd brand for the first time

Trying Cookd brand for the first time. Really I dint like it. Did everything that mentioned in the box, but it came out very mushy. Taste is also not that much good. I tried this brand only for Aadhi anna, sorry na but Im not satisfied. May be I'll try with someother recepies of your brand.

Hi there, we're sorry to hear that the Ambur Biryani didn't meet your expectations. Your feedback is valuable, and we hope you'll give other recipes a try in the future. Thank you for trying our brand!

Could Improve the taste

It's little light on the flavour.. you can improve by making the masala paste stronger and flavourful by 20% to 30% then it will be perfect.
