Donne biryani is the most popular biryani recipe in and around Bangalore. You can find many hotels serving this biryani in areas like Banashankari, Chickpet, Rt nagar, Rajaji nagar etc. As far as I know, the most popular one is “Shivaji Military hotel”-Jayanagar. This biryani is usually served in a big, hand pressed bowls made of plantain leaf ( as shown in the pic).It is called as “Donne” in Kannada. So this biryani is fondly called as donne biryani. The flavor of jeera rice( jeeraga samba arisi) along with ground mint+coriander+Fenugreek leaves masala paste while cooking was simply awesome. It would make anyone feel hungry.l
