    How interesting, I'm mexican and never heard of biryani before, but I can see how much of this recipe inspired paella from Spain and so many dishes in latin america have this kind of vibe and come from the post-hispanic era, is great to understand how much a dish can say about our history.

    Please do appa/appam (Sri Lankan hoppers)! It’s so different to the rest of the cuisine, and I’ve always wondered whether it was the result of several periods of colonisation.

    I always learn something from Sohla. Today my biggest takeaway is the rice! I’ve been doing it all wrong. I’m making a point of having a rice dish early this week so I can change my technique.

    This was a great episode! Loved all the history and vocabulary! Now I want to make biryani (but I'll probably get take out from my favorite Indian restaurant, instead.)

    I keep wanting her to hook up with Tasting History and Townsends and Natalie and Tara…. Then I want to add Rick because they used to work together… Natalie and Tara DID collab with Townsends, so it can happen and can work and is actually how I found Natalie and Tara. I'm not sure how to work Rick in to the historical cooking, but I'm sure he knows or can learn some amazing recipe rooted in the past that he can make into "sweet heat". I'm just selfish, I want all my fave people to show up in the same video, but I really can't figure out how to make the guys from Sorted Food fit in…
