Made this today – was a super hit! Thank you so much for putting the time and care into writing such precise recipes, I’ve made multiple dishes from your website and all of them have been superb. Huge fan of your work!!
What can we use instead of Stone Flower? I cant seem to find it in any of the stores in the US
Hello suguna
I have a doubt shall I make this biryani using mutton keema also And does it require some extra time to cook
Sure. Kheema takes less time to cook. Just cook it a little more time than chicken and you should be good.

Thank You!
