Spicy n tasty luking biryani ..nicely explained.
What a lovely and nicely explained recipe. Really like the combination of flavours in it.
Delicious one pot meal.. just love them.
Plain briyani is calling me, couldnt stop myself drooling here. Havent prepared Khuska since a while. Now you are tempting me to the core. Such a flavourful dish.
Lovely recipe of khuska. Briyani rice, I always thought they used some stock to make this recipe, now have to try this recipe of yours, I just love khuska rice.
Just something to make when you run out of ideas with biriyani or don’t have anything to go with it… sounds really flavorful…
I have never heard of Plain Biryani, but now sure I’ll make it 🙂
I’ve not tasted plain biryani but would definitely love to make this aromatic and full of spices rice dish.
I love recipes with coconut milk and this will be such a fabulous one pot meal on a summer day.
Oh Wow! This plain biryani looks and sounds easy peasy and yet delicious. I am gonna try this recipe soon
This looks and sounds flavourful. The coconut milk must be lending a lot of flavour to the biryani. Sometimes, simple is the best! Loved the recipe,
Wow. Biriyani is a pressure cooker! Great one pot meal. I will love that with curd or onion riata
Flavourful and simple biryani. Feel like having with raita and chicken curry 🙂
Adding coconut milk to biryani is a new idea for me. But it sounds interesting and your biryani looks delicious. I’ll try it for my girls who leave out chicken anyways from their biryani.
Kushka is my favorite rice dish whenever I have any party or get together. I love making this simple yet flavorful biryani. Looks so delicious.
Evergreen and delicious.. I prepare them atleast once a week..
Looks like easy and healthy bowl of rice! Last time I used jeera rice for Biryani. I am not big fan of that rice. But your recipe looks good.
