We tried today. But we added Star Anise with the spices specified here and added some pepper while grinding cashew nuts. Here poppy seeds are banned .But it turned out very well. It looks something similar to yummy Chettinadu Biriyani available here in some Anjappar Chettinadu restaurant.Thanks a lot.

Turned out really well. Replaced dalda with 75% oil and 25% ghee. Dalda is too unhealthy an option. Added some extra red chilli powder.
