When I was in Hyderabad, India about ten years ago, a popular dish there was Chicken Biryani. I made this dish once before, and I followed the instructions very carefully. Tonight, I skimmed a few recipes online and watched an instructional youtube video on how to make Biryani. Then, I just threw all the basic pieces together: Chicken (drumsticks), Basmati Rice, Curry Powder, Salt, Pepper, Ginger, Cummin, Onions, Potatoes, Plain Yogurt, and Tomatoes. I didn't bother measuring anything, and I think the Chicken Biryani turned out pretty good. Also, I think it was more fun to make the dish when I winged it.
