Chicken Biryani..karnataka style | How to prepare chicken Biryani


Chicken Biryani is one of my favorite non-veg dish and there are many popular recipes of this.
I have tried the Karnataka style/little customized version of biryani here.

I usually like the spiced rice which is cooked along with chicken and masalas when compared with the dhum style of biryani's. when the rice is cooked along with chicken and masala's rice comes out very delicious and spicy too..!!
