I asked for a spicy biriyani as takeout and the chef decided to just add a heavy layer of chopped jalapenos to the already prepared biriyani to make it spicy. They could have simply told me if they were not welcoming customization of recipes rather than doing this. It felt disrespectful. Generally when requested for a spicy biriyani, restaurants give you a higher proportion of masala rice to white rice in the biriyani than decorating it with jalapenos.
