Chicken Biriyani

Chicken Biryani

Is easy to make and has a homely taste so all the bachelors out there try this and you will remember your home.  No need of getting biryani packets from hotels.  Might take a little more time then odering on swiggy but self satisfying. Can be eaten without any curry but if you want you can combine it with kurma and raitha ( perugu Pachadi )
