"Indian" Food, or Another Scam Perpetrated on Sam Biddle?
Sam Biddle claims this dish is "vegetable biryani." Looks like some cheap Spanish rice with a tomato in it to me.

I get scammed all the time. People love preying on me. I ate most of that dreck, even though it was basically just buttered rice and eight small pieces of mushy frozen vegetables. It was ordered off the kids menu, but at a place that hates kids—some sort of diner for orphans.

How much did you pay for the garbage rice.

Ah Sam. Ah humanity.

Did they even give you some Raita to put on top of it? I'm really sorry for you—that looks terrible.

Okay, which Indian place? I order Indian a lot and am sometimes stunned at the awfulness of some restaurant delivery food. So many are awesome when you go there, but suck royally on the delivery side.
Was it a topless picture of seamless?

As an Indian, I strongly condemn this scam. If you order a briyani, you should get a piping hot biryani with spices filled center and not cooked rice with vegetables thrown in for good measure.

Seriously. This happened to me too at a biryani truck near my office, and I was pissed.

I will fund your biryani Kickstarter.
Amen brother.

Vegetable biryani is a weird spin-off. Vegetables don't release the juices that meat do when cooked for the rice to soak in. Some say to cook rice and meat separately but I hold fast to that rural overkill of calories. There's a mutton biryani from a region in south India rich & spicy enough to turn you sober from piss drunk instantaneously.

All I want is a lovely, spicy biryani without raisins or nuts. Why do they put those things in there? It's so upsetting. :(

You're not eating a proper biryani either. That sounds like the northern rice dish pulao. To be precise, Kashmiri pulao is known for having dry fruits.
