I made this today and it was pretty good – though I’d reduce the chillies (a bit overpowering, even for a red-blooded desi) and the onion (ditto). I don’t have a functioning oven, so I made it biryani style in a dutch oven over very low heat.

Qabuli is actually a Afghani dish. It is popular in Hyderabad among its muslim popluation. Afghans make a variety of rice dishes with various dals. I never caught their names too busy eating :tongue: There are some Lebanese/arab dishes with dals similar to the Afghan dishes eaten them mostly at restaurants here in US they were expectedly not very impressive as is most ethnic cuisine.

My friends mom used to add an interesting twist to it she would make tiny about 1cm wide balls of kofta(the Hyderabadi one) roast them in a kadhai and put them in the Qabuli ;;) ;;)

And no it is not poor mans Biryani.
