#Diwalidelights - This is a delicious preparation of fragrant plain Biryani from the Southern Indian states, especially Tamilnadu. It is light on the stomach and the flavour of ghee, saffron and rose water makes it even more appetizing. It is a perfect rice dish during this festival.

It goes very well with any veg. or non-veg. side dish or can be had as it is with some pickle and papad. Make it more appealing by garnishing with chopped nuts, coriander / mint leaves, saffron and fried onions.
