CHICKEN 65 BIRYANI




Chicken 65 biryani is a more flavourful and spicy version of the regular chicken biryani. Here the chicken is marinated in a host of spices and masala, fried in oil and then added to the biryani. This gives a wonderful colour and flavour to the biryani and takes the taste to an all new level. Serve this delicious Chicken 65 biryani with Jungli Mutton and onion raita and I am sure your family and friends would become fans of your cooking.
