Chicken Biryani

Difficulty Rating 4 (Difficult prep etc.)


This dish is a traditional favorite from my husband's home town.  I don't have my own recipe for this one but I highly recommend this one http://www.vahrehvah.com/Hyderabadi+Chicken+Biryani:3144.


It is relatively easy compared to many biryani recipes and it is also very authentic.  It's really worth the work.
