Happy Cook
I love biriyani's and this looks so so good, I have still the bookmarked recipe from Bharathy's place to make which is your mom's biriyani and now i have to bookmark you friends one too.
I only wish my hubby felt the same passion for biriyani like daughter and I.
He thinks why mix everything in one por and call it a dish when you can serve them seperate, how much i explain to him it is not same, we still have the same discusion each time i tell him i am going to make biriyani.
