About
Chicken Biryani is a popular Indian dish made with chicken, basmati rice, and a blend of spices. It is cooked by layering marinated chicken and partially cooked rice, and then cooking it all together. Biryani is often garnished with fried onions, boiled eggs, and served with raita or gravy on the side. It is a complete meal in itself and is loved for its rich and aromatic flavours.
