Biryani is truly the most divine dish of all the non-veg recipes. Muslims are expert in making lipsmacking biryani. The Muslim Chicken Biryani tastes superb, fragrant, non-greasy yet finger-licking good with delicious flavor. If you are a Non Vegetarian, you should have tasted this in any Muslim functions.
