We’ve never made a proper biryani before, so we brought in two Michelin-star chef Aktar Islam of Opheem, to show us how it’s really done. In this video, Aktar teaches us how to make an incredible Beef Short Rib Biryani, breaking down every stage of the process, from marinating the beef overnight and making a fragrant biryani masala to perfectly cooking basmati rice and layering everything together for the final steam. Along the way, we learn why yoghurt works so well in a beef marinade, how to fry onions properly, the difference between blooming and toasting spices, why biryani rice is cooked to different stages, and how to get beautifully separate, aromatic grains every time. This is biryani properly explained by one of the best chefs in the UK.
