A briyani has always been a person's delight when it comes to mouth watering recipes, while the preparation of it has various variations. After a lot of hit and trial methods, finally, I got the right one and won kudos from Naz for the first time for a briyani.
Briyani wasn't a part of my childhood. My family seldom made non-vegetarian food at home. After Naz entered my life, it is briyani everywhere ... just kidding... Now that I had found the perfect recipe to make one, I would love to make it n-number of times for my dear.
This recipe is worth giving a try, as it is an outcome of a lot of trials to make a perfect briyani...
