Biryani i wanted to try with small potatoes for a long time. During our vacation to India last month, we went Cream center for dinner on my daughter's birthday. A biryani mela was going on there and we ordered a chettinad vegetable biryani. Me and my younger co sister relished it each and every bite. After coming back home, there was an urge for me to try this Chettinad biryani at home. Last week i called my friend for dinner and i made this biryani. It was a super hit.
