Xampp With Php 7.4 - Info
For a developer using XAMPP, this version was the sweet spot. It was modern enough to support contemporary frameworks like Laravel 7 and 8 comfortably, yet it was not as demanding as PHP 8.0 regarding Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation configuration or strict union types. XAMPP bundles Apache, MariaDB, and PHP into a cohesive unit, and the inclusion of PHP 7.4 turned the stack into a robust environment for professional development, moving it beyond mere educational use.

I just wanted to let you know that I tried your Chicken Biryani recipe, and it was incredible. I followed the instructions exactly, and the results were amazing. This will definitely be my go-to recipe from now on.
Looks amazing! So happy the biryani was a success!
Big fan of your recipes Izzah! I typically use saffron in making my heavily simplified version of biryani, do you think that would be a wise substitution for food coloring? The recipe is so methodical and precise, I wouldn’t want to make any hasty substitutions!
Thanks so much, Abeera! Yes, that’d be perfectly fine. Would love to hear how it turns out!
Hi – I made the biryani recipe and it turned out well. However, I feel the quintessential biryani aroma (I’ve eaten a lot of biryani in my lifetime and I only smelled it once when my parent’s Pakistani friend made biryani when I was a kid) was missing. Would using stone flower (dagad phool), which is used by some chefs, provide this aroma and umami boost to the biryani? Is there a reason why you don’t use it in your recipe? Thank you!
That’s such an interesting note, Wess! I’m so curious to know what she used. I have never tried dagad phool, but there’s actually a biryani flavoring essence that you can buy and use in place of kewra. Perhaps that’s what she used? Hope that helps!
Hi, Izzah.
You may be right. My sincere apologies, perhaps I did have a different flavour profile in mind. I read the many positive reviews of others too, so they definitely really like it. Keep up the good work.
