Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani
Would love the inedible spices removed (bay leaf, anise seed), did not enjoy accidentally biting into an anise seed.

Makhani Dal (Butter Dal)
I'm excited to find 1) a meal with dal and 2) one that is mild. This was perfectly balanced between flavors and a light touch of spice (no heat).
