I kept my alarm at morning 5’0 clock to step into my preparation, but whenever i used to work with Hyderabadi biryani, that will be big mess to set everything back. However, I didn’t felt that much mess this time, since the recipe was so easy and there i no need to worry about the biryani masala, “The ratio of the masala’s are too perfect “.
Here I used Prawns instead of chicken, no wonder i adapted the recipe to out taste by adding here and there steps to elaborate my style. One thing i felt with the masala was i expect bit more hotness with the masala since it was a Hyderabadi masala and we started taking some spicy foods, my expected spice level was missing other than it was a perfect hit, to mange the spines i add green chillies. So now you are guaranteed to try Hyderabadi Biryani in home with Restaurant style perfection.
