That's quite a different recipe from the one I use. I tend to cheat and use the packaged spice mixes, rather than blend my own (because I'm lazy). Shan is a reliable brand, their Bombay Biryani mix is quite spicy, they also do a couple of others that aren't quite so fiery.
Biryani is also good with lamb, beef, shrimp or just veggies (carrots, potato, cauliflower, onion, okra, eggplant, tomato, spinach, peas). One of these days I'll try it with venison, just because. I wouldn't use pork in a biryani, though there are some curries that you can use pork in.
I'm fortunate in that I have a source of organic lamb as well as a meat CSA starting soon, so I can get good meat for it.
