1 meal for 800?
I'll consume the same amount over a week and die happy
I know the recipe is for weddings but know what, this could also be done for protests.

I like the cut of your jib. Those fascists will smell me cumin from a mile away
Food Not Bombs has a cookbook with a similar style of "protest food" recipes.
You gotta do Brunswick Stew for protests. Then people can just chuck the roadkill they find along the way to the protest in the pot as they arrive.
Season that baby with some motor oil & pepper spray, maybe a lil gunpowder if you can get your hands on some…
That protest will smell terrible.
I think it's for a Sikh holiday where they feed anyone for free.
20kg Ghee (use sparingly)
Ah yes let me use this comically large tub of ghee butter "sparingly"
It's a scaled recipe. The point is for even a modest cook you'd use the ghee sparingly
Use sparingly before putting 20L of oil in the mix
That's great and all, but what the heck are you supposed to cook it in, a grain silo?
I saw a video a while back about a charity in India and they had this custom.... Structure within a building I suppose you'd call it... Where the sikh folks were cooking up an absolutely gargantuan amount of food. Huge fire had to be lit underneath it. The food pit looked around five meters / 15ft across.
The amounts of everything that went in are somewhat similar to what you're reading in that recipe.
I'm trying to figure out a way to dig it out of the internet because it was a fascinating watch. If I manage it I'll be back. Maybe someone else has seen the video I'm describing and will know where to look.
Sorry for the poo tube link but I think you mean this one?

I appreciate the effort so thank you. That's not the one I saw but the idea is very similar.
The one I saw was much larger and involved ladders but this definitely gets the idea across.
Edit: just watched that video through. Can't sleep here and that's pushing me into "get up for snack" territory. Looks delicious.
Nuclear silo, like the one that launched the manhole cover into space
In your mum's cooking pot, duh
That’s around 500kg of food, or 70kg daily for a week. All you have to do is eat basically 1 body weight per day
If you're eating that much it's probably more like 1 body weight per week

Don't know if that's all the ingredients, but I would love to see the whole recipe so I could try and scale it down to a 5 person meal. The ingredients list makes it sound pretty good.
Edit: forgot there was a name attached to the recipe. Might have to just look it up instead.
I'm not sharing
Imagine the size of the pan you'd need for this.
Ok now how do i make the biryani?
Well if you throw a party with 800 people surely someone will know how?
I was hoping if i made it i'd make 800 friends
This is why it's just for me: no social life
"Combine."
Dry fry spices, add fat, add soft veggies, brown them, remove them, add meat, brown it, add veggies back and stock or liquids, simmer and add hard veggies like potatoes in to cook while it simmers.
Probably add the lemon juice and yogurt at the end to thicken up the sauce.
Yogurt is for the marinade.
You know as general instructions the math is mathing
tho the yogurt is used to make raita
What book is this from?
Idk, just found it on FB
