I am back :) with an interesting recipe by chef sanjeev
kapoor,its was great meeting him and of course i gorged in some
of the food he made during his workshop...Just like cuppa noddles,I thought the recipe would be instant. The recipe is well elaborated,most of the indian ingredients are used for the dish..I liked the
layered version of biryani,I didnt mix it all together ,the spicy vegetables ,yogurt
mixture and aromatic basmatic rice would bring a perfect cuppa biryani..You can sit on the couch and enjoy every sip spoon of it!
