Biryani as most of you know is made from Basmati rice which has a flavour that adds to the taste of Biryani.
There is a plant that is known as biryani leaf which when added to the ordinary rice gives the same flavour as basmati rice.
However, it is not just the flavour, basmati rice has other properties such as its length which no other rice is known to have.
I have always preferred to use basmati rice as while the leaf gives that flavour a discerning person will know that biryani thus prepared will never taste the same as biryani made from basmati rice
Would you prefer the original falvour or flavour created by using the biyani leaf? Needless to say that the ordinary rice is far cheaper than basmati rice. .

Basmati rice is expensive but some to make it look like basmati rice they use ordinary rice and add the biryani leaf that has the smell of basmati rice

@allknowing - I like basmati rice, when I prepare steamed rice I always use basmati.

@allknowing Then it should have been technically called Basmati leaf.

I was always intrigued by the Biryani recipe.
I often watch people eating and buying Biryani dish on youtube.
sometimes people are in long line just to buy Biryani.
I have not tried it yet.
So could you explain the taste? the aroma?
and how delicious it really is?

It is a long draw process to make biryani. It is filling and rich in taste as well. You will find many recipes on the Net.
