So here's the next question: When's the next Sunday Supper Event going to be? I had such a great time with this one!
 
Amanda H. February 4, 2010
We're thinking Sunday, February 28, but we'll keep you posted. Glad to know people want to do it again.

I made this for supper this evening and it was so delicious. Even my fussy 13y.o. daughter who doesn't eat onions (they seemed to melt into the rice) didn't notice and gobbled it all up! Next time I might add a squeeze of lime at the end of the dish to "brighten" it up. I'm looking forward to the next sunday night dinner cooking event.
 
Amanda H. February 3, 2010
So glad to hear it -- Merrill and I were just saying to each other today that we noticed it holds up well as a leftover, too.
 
Littlepots February 2, 2010
I was unable to attend yesterday as well (at 3pm), however, I made this for dinner tonight and it was excellent. Took less time than I thought reading through the recipe. I made a little extra cilantro/garlic/ginger paste as I added broccoli to the shrimp saute so we would get our greens. The one request I got from the DH... spicier next time!
I also made a side of raita to go with, what was not to like?
 
Amanda H. February 3, 2010
Thanks for giving it a try -- and hope we'll see you at the next Sunday Supper!

I am having some leftovers for lunch today - so delicious! The cooking together, comments, and photos were lots of fun. One suggestion - it would be nice if there was a way to post comments/photos without a Facebook account (I was incognito under my house guest's account last night, but will not have this option next week)
 
Merrill S. February 1, 2010
It would be nice, wouldn't it? Unfortunately, I'm not sure there's any way to use Hot Potato's services without signing in via Facebook.
 
mrslarkin February 1, 2010
I had my leftover shrimp today also. Warmed some broth, added a few spoonfuls of rice, the shrimp, and more cilantro. Yummy!

I'm sorry I missed this too! 3 pm PT was a tad early for this Sunday of errands. Look like I missed an awesome event. Hope to take place in the next one!
 
Amanda H. February 3, 2010
No worries -- and yes, we may need to run these at various times so everyone has a chance to participate and not have to make dinner at 3 pm!
 
cambridgecook January 31, 2010
Great recipe and great fun! Stopping to read the feed really slows things down in the kitchen, but is very entertaining! Just sorry I couldn't comment as I have no facebook account. Look forward to the next Sunday Supper!
 
Amanda H. February 3, 2010
Yes, it adds a whole other element to the cooking. I had to wipe down my laptop after we were done. Hope to see you at the next one!
 
One H. January 31, 2010
So bummed that I can't make this tonight (6 pm is prime madness time between dinner, the two babes and getting them to bed). Have fun! Can't wait to try the recipe on my own.
 
Amanda H. January 31, 2010
Thanks and sorry about the bad timing -- totally understand that madness! If this works, in the future we may be able to stagger times.

I won't be cooking with you this evening, but I am psyched to link to the event and follow along. You do such an extrodinairy job drawing people back to the kitchen where food nourishes and stimulates our minds and bodies.
Your contribution to food and society is remarkable!
Thank You,
uRDietitian
 
Amanda H. February 3, 2010
Thank YOU!! And hope you can join us again next time.
 
Catty A. January 31, 2010
I can't find the event on Hot Potato. Help! Is it up there yet?
 
mrslarkin January 31, 2010
I can't find the even either. Also, not sure the search field is working properly for me?
 
Amanda H. January 31, 2010
I just set it up -- please try it now and let us know.
 
mrslarkin January 31, 2010
there it is! Thanks!
 
Jennifer A. January 31, 2010
Heading to the store in a few hours to collect the ingredients - is there a wine recommendation for tonight's dinner?
 
Amanda H. January 31, 2010
I just emailed Sasha to see if she has any thoughts. Not sure if she's around tho. Will keep you posted!
 
Amanda H. January 31, 2010
Btw, I think I'm going in the direction of beer.
 
Jennifer A. January 31, 2010
Thanks! beer is a great idea.
 
Merrill S. January 31, 2010
From Sasha: "Riesling and Gewurztraminer are classic matches for Indian food. Sparkling wine would be good, as would a Sauvignon Blanc. If you're set on red, I'd think about a Beaujolais or a lighter Pinot Noir. Have fun with the group cooking event -- wanted to participate but have a family dinner. Next time!"
 
Jennifer A. January 31, 2010
Perfect - thanks!
 
Amanda H. January 30, 2010
People who are in different time zones: this dish holds up well so you can cook along with us and then rewarm the biryani for dinner later. You can either leave the shrimp out until you reheat it -- or slightly under-cook the shrimp so when you reheat the dish, the shrimp doesn't get rubbery.
 
amreen January 30, 2010
Oh wow ... I am super excited (and flattered) that u guys are using this dish for your sunday supper event! Can't wait to see how it all turns out :D I think I'm gonna be auditioning for Master Chef using this recipe ... wish me luck and have fun folks!
 
Merrill S. January 30, 2010
Wow, good luck! Let us know what happens.
 
Lizthechef January 29, 2010
Trying out a comment to see if I am correctly "named", after the recent computer mix-ups...
 
Lizthechef January 29, 2010
It was perfect - no more problems!
 
Amanda H. January 29, 2010
Thanks for checking -- the new commenting issues seem to be happening on the recipe pages. Our developer is up to date on the matter, and we hope to have it fixed soon -- thanks for your patience!

Amanda H. January 29, 2010
