Today we’re putting three YouTube chefs head-to-head to answer one very important question… Who actually makes the best Biryani?
We’re taking on recipes from Nick DiGiovanni, Andy Cooks, and Fallow, following each one step-by-step, no shortcuts, no tweaks, and then tasting them side by side to crown a winner.
From saffron-infused basmati rice and crispy fried onions to yogurt-marinated chicken and slow-braised beef curry, each of these biryani recipes brings something completely different to the table. Some stay traditional, some get creative… and one of them completely surprised me.
And of course, we finish things off the only way we know how 👉 combining all three into the ultimate Franken-biryani.
If you’ve ever wondered how different chefs approach biryani, or which recipe is actually worth making at home, this is the one.
