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.
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.
