Hubby loves biryani, be it Hyderabad or Pakistani biryani.He just loves biryani.Our Friday menu is fixed, it is Hyderabad biryani,mirchi salan and raita.This i have been doing since last 6 years. Kids also got used to my fixed dishes on Fridays, only thing I do is before mixing the biryani I take the unmixed rice and give that for the kids to eat with raita.
