Layered Egg Biryani





This is my friend Suma's recipe ......which she had given me last week when we met and she had told that first time she tried it turned out very good just like the hotel biryani ....well i had bookmarked it and was sure to try this ....so finally today I tried it and it was so good that i would love to do it again , by the end of the day it was even more good with all the flavours getting mixed beautifully and eggs getting the flavour .....well suma if u read this I just loved it and thank you for this recipe which I will treasure :)

  • Just gently coat the masala to the eggs and dont add water and cook till oil leaves out.


  • Layer it starting with egg masala, then spread the rice evenly and then sprinkle coriander leaves, mint leaves, and fried onion and then repeat the same

  • Bake it in a preheated oven at 180 C for 15 minutes or you can close the lid tightly sealed with the dough and cook it on a very low heat for 15 min and then serve hot with raitha

  5. Dum biriyani ka dum toh dam dama dum hain...

    I had dum biriyani from hyderabad when I went there for a official trip.

    You pictures are delicious... People will wonder why I call the pictures delicious when they dont taste... Simple...

    It is something like... feel the taste, imaging the taste... so when I see the pictures I imagine the taste so said that it is delicious...

    Now your pictures are delicious and they force me to try for the weekend...

    Congrats for the awards... I have decided, I will launch an award... and distribute to all... all means the ones whose blog I read and like and comment....there will not be any rules but sharing information....

    What do you think about the idea...?
