Chicken White Rice
I love simple rice dishes, this is one of the recipe which i made recently and fell in love with it. When i took the rice and had the first mouthful i was like wow, this is truly delicious. Unlike other biryani this doesn't have ant spice powders or stuffs like that. The main flavour for this comes from the spices and coconut milk.
