BiryaniYaar

You can measure the spices — but the timing always ends up a blur. Biryani Yaar records your whole cook, hands-free, so every batch gets better than the last.

Biryani Yaar is an experiment notebook for people who cook biryani.

It’s not a timer and not a recipe app. It records your time and your observations — even when both hands are busy.

■ Why it exists You can measure every spice, but the timing — when you lifted the rice, when you dropped to low heat — always ends up as a vague memory. The one piece of data that matters most never becomes a number. This app fixes exactly that.

■ What you can do · Plan: build today’s amounts and steps on top of a style (Kacchi / Pakki / Dum). Turn a past cook into your next starting point. · Weigh: teaspoons and tablespoons auto-convert to grams per ingredient. See the difference from your plan instantly. · Cook: one count-up clock. Notifications fire at each step. One big tap to stamp the moment. · Taste: record texture, score and notes. Review plan-vs-actual diffs, observations and a finished-dish photo together. · History: every cook is saved on your device, always there to look back on. Progress you can see.

■ Built for the kitchen · Hands-free logging: big taps and voice input for wet hands in front of the flame · Reliable timing: elapsed time is recomputed from the start, surviving lock and stepping away; notifications are pre-scheduled · Fully offline: everything stays on your device. No account, no data leaves the phone. Works in airplane mode. · Biryani masala: log and grow your own spice blends, and link them to a plan · Dark by design: readable next to the stove or during a late-night prep · 7 languages: Japanese, English, Hindi, Bengali, Urdu, Tamil, Telugu

This isn’t a beginner’s textbook. It’s a notebook for people who are ready to cook — to trace, notice, and grow their own style.

Make your next plate the one you serve with pride.
