 Egg biriyani recipe with step by step pictures



              Egg biriyani is an Indian non-veg main course. It is made with the same procedure as for other biriyanis but with eggs. Biriyani is the most favorite meal for almost all of us. This egg biriyani is one of my favorite. I often cook this biriyani for Sunday lunch with any sidedish like Chicken 65 , Chicken pakora,  Cinthamani chicken,  . Today I served Chicken leg fry with this egg biriyani and Onion raita by side. Hope you like the recipe.
