AMBUR CHICKEN BRIYANI WITH ONION RAITA


This is the best combination that has no comparison. Hot spicy briyani will make you feel like you are in heaven,with its magical smell you will forget everything around you for that moment. when i was in my schooldays i used to wait for sundays, because my mother used to cook chicken briyani with raita. Every sunday my father goes to the market and get the fresh chicken and we normally have a very late lunch around 3 pm, sometimes i get so upset with my mom for not making lunch on time,those were wonderful days in my life.

We are basically from Ambur this place is very famous for its briyani in Tamilnadu, we have some very good muslim friends who taught me their way of making the best mouthwatering Ambur briyani.

Now both my families love this dish and to be honest i love my muslim friends briyani more than the one i cook.They also serve this briyani with chicken 65 and chicken curry or chicken 65 with brinjal masala. I will share the recipe for the brinjal masala with you all soon in my blog.

Enjoy the dish!!!!
