In India, an evergreen favorite is certainly a Chicken Biryani as an Indian Food, a well-cooked chicken, for a special Sunday brunch or for a party meal. And it’s also a visual pleasure — a lovely array of rice, soft chicken, and flavors, stuffed with fresh mint leaves and coriander, with brown Fried Onions and etc. Chicken is a high-grade protein that produces a healthy, satisfying pot supper when paired with rice, herbs, spices, and yogurt-like any traditional chicken biryani. Serve it with a raita and salad or a kachumber, essentially hot piping, and wait for all the compliments! I’d also recommend trying out this recipe with Chutney Chicken with Golden Brown Biryani.
