Chicken Tikka Biriyani
Chicken Tikka is marinated by using hung curd and some spices.Later we can use OTG or non stick kadai to shallow fry. If yu want you can include smoky flavour into it.
Then tomato based spicy gravy is prepared and layered with a cooked basmati rice and keep it DUM for sometime. Serve hot along with raita. It’s a packed witj flavours. You can have tikka with some mayonnaise too.
