But the unique flavour, look and aroma comes to a briyani when it is cooked in a dum style. I have a Traditional Mutton Briyani, Chicken Kofta briyani, Vegetable Briyani which is made in dum style. Making a perfect briyani doesn't need any masterclass or something like that, just use the good quality basmati rice, so you will get the perfect grains and aroma of a briyani. Then the cooking of the rice, it shouldn't be over cooked and the next step will be the masala for the briyani.

I hope you will love this fish briyani as much as i did. Have this with any raita of your choice, you can choose from my list of raita too..
