Making a perfect Chicken Briyani is my long-term dream and it comes true now after lots of trials.Finally am going to fix this pressure cooker method as mine.This is the briyani which has required no spice powders as we are going to grind whole spices instead.Even beginners and bachelors can try this method to get perfect outcome.Briyani tastes so great the very next dining time or after a day as the flavours infused well - Tip from my briyani king friend Shalika.

How can i forget to mention about the above cute pot which is gifted by My Man.The best part is he gave me with a condition that i had to cook Chicken Briyani and clicked it by the very next day as i always go crazy buying little things regarding kitchen but i introduce them very late(sometimes it takes an year) (wait for good day or good mood or bad mood to cheer me up).He is my best recipe tester as he is a big Food Lover too.So i cooked and clicked the very next day by concerning his condition.He loves it and suggested me to skip turmeric powder.Try this and you will get the perfect outcome for sure.
