Actually biryani is a long process.I have already posted an oven baked biryani.It takes nearly 3 hrs. But this one is easy and simple. Just boil a few eggs,roast it on a pan and add it to the plain biryani. A potato fry with raita will also do good.Actually My daughter likes it colorful, so I added 2 tsps of kashmiri chilli powder.
Give it a try during the weekend!
