Hi Sadhana,
This is the first time ever I’m writing a comment in my life.
I really wanted to take time to comment about your recipe which I prepared last weekend and came out very well unexpected by all of us.
First time I’m cooking veg. briyani and couldn’t believe it tasted delicious. That half a cup of curd did really a miracle of bringing in the taste. Thanks for it. Keep posting more recipes.
