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
I think it's for a Sikh holiday where they feed anyone for free.
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.
20kg Ghee (use sparingly)
Ah yes let me use this comically large tub of ghee butter "sparingly"
It calls for 2kg of garlic, but you know you're gonna end up using 5kg.
Use sparingly before putting 20L of oil in the mix
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

$1,400 worth of saffron.
I did the math for the saffron too, it would be (the equivalence of) $300 in Sweden.
I also noticed that. Lol. Imagined a guy trying to desperately look up a substitute
I mean, 1,100Lbs of sheep meat is probably going to cost a bit too.
Why would you convert the perfectly sensical units?
Ok now how do i make the biryani?
Well if you throw a party with 800 people surely someone will know how?
Wrong every time
"Combine."
Imagine the size of the pan you'd need for this.
What book is this from?
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.
I'm not sharing
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.
