Biryani Recipe Calculator FAQs
1. How does the Biryani Calculator work?
The tool adjusts ingredient quantities and cooking steps based on your inputs (servings, protein choice, spice level, and method). It provides precise measurements and tailored instructions.
2. Can I use this for vegetarian/vegan Biryani?
Yes! Select the “Vegetable” protein option. For vegan Biryani, replace ghee with oil and yogurt with coconut milk.
3. What’s the difference between Dum and Pressure Cooker methods?
- Dum: Slow-cooked for richer flavor (traditional).
- Pressure Cooker: Faster but may slightly alter texture.
4. How accurate are the nutrition facts?
Calculations are estimates based on standard ingredients. For exact values, weigh your ingredients.
5. Can I adjust the recipe after generating it?
Yes! Change inputs (e.g., servings) and recalculate. The tool will update quantities instantly.
6. Why is marination time longer for mutton/beef?
Tougher meats need more time to tenderize. Chicken requires just 1–2 hours.
7. What if I don’t have saffron or kewra water?
Skip them or use substitutes:
- Saffron → Turmeric (for color)
- Kewra → Rose water (for fragrance).
8. How do I store leftover Biryani?
Refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat with a splash of water to revive moisture.
