We challenged chefs of three different skill levels – amateur Stephen, home cook Rinku, and professional chef Danielle Alex – to prepare us their favorite biryani recipe. Once each level of chef had presented their creation, we asked expert food scientist Rose to explain the choices each made along the way – both good and bad. Which biryani would you choose to eat first?

I wouldn't even feed what the level 3 guy made to my worst enemy.
I just wonder if the Level 3 chef came to this video to read the comments. Wonder how they feel?
Its like 3 levels of horror for an indian😂
founder of diversity kitchen is a diversity hire lol
Level 3 quit being a chef
I want to try Rinku’s dish. I don’t like seafood but it looks fantastic.
Who is Here after Watching Uncle Rogers Video 😂
I think in kerala specificaly in malabar region we get much better biriyani
0:10 aka the second worst briyani I every saw . Number 1 is Jamie Oliver
That level 3 be like :
Hello today i am gonna make Watermelon juice with mangoes.
Who puts shrimp 🦐 in biryani 🥹
Narendra Modi would try to get the level 3 chef extradited if he saw this video
steven my favorite
I'm sure dislike on this video is much more than likes and the one who liked this video probably did It for level 2….level 3 deserves hate and dislike to ruin biryani….
Props to Uncle Roger for catching the lvl 3 chef for using the wrong rice and upsetting an entire country and their culture
HAIYYAAA……
"If my grandmother had wheels, she'll be a motorbike"
: Level 3 Chef
Level 2 chef is annoying she’s like trying to pull off a cartoon voice but she’s blowing the audition
Level 3 chef next episode: I’ll be making tacos with waffles and olives but I’ll use taco
What a joke
There are somethings you do not mess around with. Biriyani is one. Dont make something with grains and call it a biriyani. Its one of those foods thats beyond great. You cannot make it better.
We got DEI biriyani before GTA 6
Level 1 : Garbage and moron
Level 2 : I will eat it
Level 3 : Garbage and racist
I am suing this Level 3 chef for blasphemy against Biryani!!!
As an Indian, I'd tell you – they made 3 different types of sh!t and not biryani, not even close.
one of the worst videos in this channel lmao.
aloo bakhara, (plums) in a biryani is extremely underrated, they collect masala while the biryani is cooking leading to sweet spicy sour, rich flavour bombs in your biryani. Making the dish even more interesting
The first two being wrong is understandable…but that level 3 chef…ufff
Protect the culture of Pakistanis and Indians😢😢
Danielle really made my blood boil in the entirety of this video.
When you want to make biryani no one uses diversity we use racism and basmati rice.
That level one chef cannot cook.
Please someone tell me this is a prank video
Isn't freekeh kind of an arabic ingredient? Why did she use it in a South Asian dish??
Even in the kitchen you can't escape the fatigue
I felt offended at level 3 and I'm not even indian
Using Freekeh in your Briyani is like using Instant noodle package on your Spaghetti. What a crime this video is.
The so called pro chef needs to get her face smasshed
Level 3 moron
