Sunday lunch is always special that too when we make a biriyani which is quite popular in Tamil Nadu. Actually i never had a chance to taste Coimbatore Hotel Angannan's special Biriyani but trust me google master will definitely help to replicate many traditional dishes at home just with a click. I have been looking for a different biriyani recipe since a while as i was bored to cook the same routine style of biriyani. When i was googling i got hooked to a cookery show where the chef prepared this Kovai special Hotel Anganan chicken biriyani with simple ingredients. Obviously i couldnt resist to give a try and this biriyani came out simply flavourful.
This recipe calls for a special spice paste which is added to the chicken pieces for marination and this spice paste is the basic ingredient for this biriyani. No tomatoes or chilly powder is used in this recipe. This biriyani is completely spiced with green chillies obviously if you want this briyani to be spicy, dont forget to add more chillies, no coconut paste is used as well. If you are searching for a delicious, hassle free one pot meal for your sunday meal, take a look to this biriyani and makes this dish to please everyone at home.
