A biryani shopping list is clearer when each ingredient has an explicit quantity per guest.

Set the guest count and edit the rice, protein and other ingredient amounts to match your recipe. Check the purchase basis before applying an extra allowance.

## Why use this tool

Editable ingredient rows let you compare batch sizes without treating one example formula as the right recipe for every event.


## Before relying on the result

Starting quantities are editable planning examples, not a complete biryani recipe. Raw protein includes only the purchase basis you enter; no cooked edible yield is inferred.


## Tool limitations

Starting quantities are editable planning examples, not a complete biryani recipe. Raw protein includes only the purchase basis you enter; no cooked edible yield is inferred.

## Questions

### Is the protein amount a cooked edible yield?

No. It follows the raw purchase basis you enter. Bone, trimming and cooking losses need separate consideration.

### What should I check before using Biryani Batch Planner?

Check People, Dry rice, Raw protein purchase mass and Potatoes. Use the exact units shown beside the controls and replace any example values with your own inputs.
