    Broken Wheat Biryani

    I came across this recipe at my friend's wedding. I actually forgot about this recipe but then Last week when my hubby was not in the home I felt like having biryani. I was out of stock of biryani rice then I got a spark and was reminded of this recipe.

    It is so simple but tastes similar to vegetable biryani. I would say this is the healthy version of vegetable biryani. It can be consumed without guilt as it's prepared using wheat rava or lapsi.
