Amazing, I can't believe you made this awesome biriyani at home! I so love this biriyani, though most mallus don't like the final texture (without too much masala gravy in the rice or chicken!) my fav places to eat this was paradise, take away at Hyderabad house, and green park, golconda restaurants..
