Spicy Biryani Recipe

I know many people who think that biryani is really very difficult to cook but that’s totally wrong. If you know the exact ingredients and recipe then its very easy to cook.  I like to cook it because with biryani you don’t need to have any other gravy just a yogurt dip and salad will do a tasty magic. You can adjust the spices according to your taste. I love my spicy biryani with chicken but you can also make it with beef or mutton.
