DSC_6449Time and again I have tried to profusely express my love for Biryani through my blog. Biryani is the frontrunner dish whenever I organize a get together at home. A perfect Biryani can be made only with a Perfect Biryani Masala. I have been getting many requests from Visitors on my blog, asking me for the ingredients and proportion of Home Made Biryani Masala. So I’m sharing with you my family recipe which will add flavor to your succulent vegetable or non vegetarian Biryani and give it the magical aroma to die for.DSC_6467
