What Makes Biryani Special Loaded with various rich and aromatic ingredients like basmati rice, tender and delicious chicken along with the touch of flavourful spices, biryani is hearty meal that is loved all over the world.
The iconic dish is made by layering some delicious, spiced chicken in a pot followed by basmati rice, fried onions, hint of saffron and a dollop of ghee.
