      This is so so easy great tadting

  • Special chicken biryani

    • etcjm on February 02, 2022

      Tasted good but I really didn't like the way the recipe was laid out. Had to read and reread over and over and I still wasn't convinced. It just made it harder than it needed to be. Might have been because I picked the recipe in a hurry. It needs the mint and coriander and salt. It needs a lot of FRIED ONIONS, which if you can make it advance will just kind of help the muddled process a bit.
