Directions
Dad’s Biryani, This recipe was adopted from my dad who was a keen fisherman of Durban’s North Pier – with daily fish catches after work, especially the shad run he concocted this fish biryani – I have however modified this recipe to accommodate either fish, lamb, chicken or beef The base is the taste of the biryani and slow even cooking and carefully measured ingredients are the key This dish improves with time, so it is best made a day or so in advance , This recipe was adopted from my dad who was a keen fisherman of Durban’s North Pier – with daily fish catches after work, especially the shad run he concocted this fish biryani – I have however modified this recipe to accommodate either fish, lamb, chicken or beef The base is the taste of the biryani and slow even cooking and carefully measured ingredients are the key This dish improves with time, so it is best made a day or so in advance
