Will try this. I guess it's a bit like biruani or bibimibap(sp?).
I got some nice saucepans for my birthday and can now get close to it though, and that's much faster.
Got to say I'm baffled by the basmati hate.

Mouth feel and flavour is far behind other rice grains.
Definitely not bibimbap. Bibimbap you need a nice mound of perfectly cooked white rice, with toppings, egg and sauce layered on top, so that you can mix at the point of eating.

basmati hate
too fluffy, not enough starch

Biryani I would say is different technique in terms of cooking
The closer to what @Señor_Bear describe is rice and peas from the Caribbean (cooking with coconut milk) or jellof rice where that’s cooked in a strong tomato sauce. Don’t use basmati for that.

If you like that, you should get into cooking rice in a cast iron Le Creuset (other brands are available) pot in the oven for 45 minutes. Swap half the water for coconut milk if you are real swag.
