We are lucky enough to have a local Indian Family Restaurant that serves authentic fresh buffet weekdays, including goat biryani, they gave me this recipe for the spices to roast for lamb biryani. I am following cookpad member Pinkblankets Kitchen’s recipe for her leftover lamb biryani, using lamb neck bones and a lamb shoulder steak, which I marinaded. Thank you! My kitchen smells like the buffet in the Indian restaurant. Tastes delicious, too.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
