How To Make Fish Biryani – Yummy Recipes

Hi Friends, today i am coming with another dish, which is fish biriyani. I know you will wonder because we don’t cook fish biriyani at home. If biriyani, then all need chicken biriyani but this will give u a fresh and tasty recipe. Fish is probably my favourite protein and this Fish Biryani recipe is one of a kind. Fish Biriyani, is one of the most authentic biriyani dish from North Kerala!!! Kaima rice is also known as Jeerakasaala/ jeera rice is used for making biriyani .Which tastes way better than the Basmathi rice. It has a very good fragrance in its own. When cooked with spices and ghee the biriyani tastes fabulous.It is easy to make, extremely flavourful and even those who do normally enjoy fish will LOVE this meal and request second helpings! I normally make this whenever my husband goes fishing and brings home a large catch, as a little celebratory meal !!
