Tried the biryani yesterday for dinner, turned out delicious. Not so spicy, the chicken pieces are succlent(first time I cooked chicken with the skin on as shown in
the image) and so flavourful because of the coconut milk. What to say my fussy eating daughter asked for second serving.
Thank you for the delicious recipes.
