Biryani Recipes app review: wow your guests

Reviews

Introduction

For those familiar with Biryani then you know exactly how delicious and special it is. There is no need to wait for a special occasion to enjoy it thanks to the Biryani Recipes app for your iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad. This app provides you with a variety of recipes that you can make any time to serve to your family and friends. Each of the recipes is pretty time-consuming but with just a bit of effort you will find yourself very pleased with the results.

Meant for Specific Meals

If you’re looking for a quick meal you can prepare for the family or for yourself this isn’t the app for you. This app is all about taking your time with the recipes and preparing dishes that are meant to be savored and shared with loved ones. Typically Biryani is served only at special occasions in the Indian culture such as weddings, holidays, and special parties. Because those don’t happen every day you may not get many opportunities to enjoy it.

You don't have to be Indian nor do you need to be experienced in cooking Biryani to use this app. The recipes are written for anyone to use and follow. Just as a side note Biryani requires long-grain rice so a good option is Basmati. This will ensure you get the best results possible when using these recipes.

Unfortunately despite the fact that this app sounds interesting, it doesn’t leave users overly impressed, scoring just average ratings. It seems like there are a few reasons for these lack-luster reactions to the app. While this is just a recipe app so one shouldn't expect fancy graphics and animations, it could still come across as engaging. For me the user interface feels a bit dated and just out of touch.

Launch the app and you are instantly shown the list of Biryani recipes. There are some tabs across the top that are used for sorting the recipes into seafood, poultry, meat, veggie, and sides. I really like this feature because it helps you find the perfect recipe for your wants/needs. Tap on any recipe to be taken to its individual page. The app comes alive a bit in this area because the recipe is divided into sections using the tabs along the bottom. View the list of ingredients, then the cooking instructions, a picture of the finished product, tips for the dish, and the ability to bookmark the recipe. The recipes also have a spiciness rating that is clearly visible at the top of the screen.
