    Chicken Biryani

    Biryani is one of the most tasted recipes all over the word which is originally from the Indian Subcontinent .It is prepared as  a combination of the  Indian spices along with or without Meat .Few say they are originally from Persia and introduced to India by the Mughals. Few say that they are bought by the Arab traders to Calicut. However the nativity of Biryani is still uncertain. Source wiki .

    Usually the Biryani is prepared using Basmati rice in North India and Seeraga Samba rice in south India. But now a days Basmati rice is being used in most of the places across India. Today I am sharing a quick and easy version of biryani with Basmiti Rice in a Presure Cooker.
