My mother watched the programme and begged me to try out this recipe. I've cooked it twice now and both times it was delicious, though totally different from the Pakistani style byrianis I normally cook. Please keep bringing us ususual recipes like this.

Firstly i hope u will enjoy eating, and am glad that you guys liked it!
as for your question John Mansfield...yes u can get them...if there is no 'arabic' shops around ur area, go to 'Indian' shops and you can find them in powder as well! so no need to worry than you would have to mix them and use it. thanks again to everyone!
