Chettinad Biryani Recipe - Chettinad Samba Biryani Recipe with step wise pictures.
Delicious chettinad style samba biryani which has yummy coconut aroma and taste to it. It is spicy and taste yummy with raita.
I used to make this chettinad biryani often when i was studying college. I totally forgot about this recipe now. Last week when i was going through my recipe diary i saw this recipe and all those memories flashed before my eyes. I made this immediately and it taste as yummy as it was before. This biryani gets it taste when it is made using seera samba rice. So try to make it with that rice if you can, else you can make using normal basmati rice.
