Potatoes in Biryani?!

[Scirocco]

Yes or no?

YABU = yes to potatoes

YANBU = no to potatoes

No no no no no. On the app, can't vote.

Why not? I think every biryani I’ve had included a few potatoes.

100% yes!!

Bring on the potatoes!

Why not. Tatties are great!

I don’t think I’ve ever had potatoes in biryani but am prepared to try!

Don't see why not

Yes, in the vegetable curry which goes with the biryani

No I hate potatoes in curries. They are just cheap tasteless fillers.

Love a potato in a curry but not in biryani 😂 sorry or not sorry depending on which outcome you want!

Yes, as long as it's in the vegetable curry part and isn't being used to bulk it out.

Like others have said, in the veg curry - not in the rice.

I love potato in everything so yes!

100% in the curry part yes. Delicious.

Our local puts potatoes in the rice, they’re delicious as soak up lots of flavour.

Simple answer, no.

No, I had the worst biryani a couple of weeks ago and it was potato and lumps of cauli in it. It was also dry and tasteless.

More fool me for ordering during Ramadan.

No as rice and potatoes is too carb heavy!

Yes. I could eat potatoes with everything though tbh love them!

If they are tasteless you/they are doing them wrong.

Yes to potatoes, if they're crunchy and brown having been on the bottom of the pot as it was cooking.

I never order biryani. I have a suspicion that it's something that uses up the leftover from the previous night, a bit like my post Christmas pies and sandwiches.

There are literally no foods that aren't improved by adding potatoes.

What a load of rubbish lol.

I agree with this!!

Also, controversial as it may be, I don’t really love rice so I’d prob be ordering all the potato based side dishes anyway🤣 And all the bread.

Yikes. There's a bit more to making a biriyani than that.
