Chicken biryani is something i enjoy eating but only when its made by my mum. But maybe I should try it out myself too now, seeing that the recipe has been given on the forum.............its made my mouth water.

I love chicken biryani but my recipe is a bit different from this. I got it from a friend but he added potato and boiled eggs on top. I suppose he adapted it. I always taught it was breyani. Maybe he changed the name to fit his changed recipe.
