Kuska rice or plain Biryani.

Another delicacy from South India. This is a dry flavourful/aromatic Biryani without any vegetables, egg, chicken or mutton. Made with few ingredients. I have made it in pressure cooker, if you make it in a pan then follow the process of making Biryani (I.e the dum way) A simple and compact recipe. It can be served with raita, egg masala or korma.
