#riceisthebest - Biryani is a very popular dish equally enjoyed by young and old alike, be they made of mutton, chicken, vegetable, prawns eggs, etc. Now here is a unique way of serving your favourite Biryani..........
The cooking of rice and mutton / chicken / eggs / prawns / veggies is done separately. It is then assembled in layers in a bowl of your choice and then flipped over on a serving dish. Hence the name Upside Down Biryani. You can use up any leftover cooked chicken too.
The garnishing is done with chopped coriander & mint leaves, roasted cashew nuts and walnuts, fried onion, sliced onion, sliced tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, etc. This not only gives your Biryani a good visual effect but also makes it very appetizing too. So serve this yummy one-pot wonder along with raita and enjoy with family and friends.
