Easy Peasy Chicken Biryani! Especially for bachelors and novice cooks!

May 23, 2012

This quickfix Biryani is a special dedication to all the guys (bachelors) out there who asked me to put up some simple recipes which they could easily make! (I have made a special Label called “Bachelor Cooking” at the bottom of the post so all such recipes can easily be tracked) So I’m gonna keep it short and sweet here. Oh but let me assure you, it’s high on flavor and low on labor. Absolutely yummy!! And a new style of posting too, to keep it quick. I know guys don’t like to read through a lot in a blog post!

    It really depends, as in if I am using Nutmeg Powder from the store, 2 tbsp is good enough coz that is the main flavoring going on in the Biryani. I'd say grate about half a Javetri if using fresh!
