THALAPPAKATTI CHICKEN BIRIYANI

I love chicken biriyani , So i tried many types of biriyanis. Ofcourse biriyani is most of the peoples favorite , i know that.. Here i have only few recipes in my blog now. I will update all the types soon.. Coming to this recipe , this is such an easy biriyani recipe tastes really really awesome.

Try to marinate the chicken for 7 - 8 hrs or whole night, it makes the chicken tender & juicy... For this recipe i marinated & kept in fridge for whole night. I served this biriyani with onion raita & prawn fry.. It tastes yummmm......

Try to use freshly crushed ginger garlic & freshly grounded biriyani masala and fresh coconut milk. It enhances the taste better... 

Just give a try......  HAPPY COOKING....💞💝
