yummy and delicious biryani medha
I love soya chunck biriyani , looks yummy
Hmm ... I'm a soy freak, but I've never tried these nuggets. And I didn't realize they needed to be soaked in milk - that seems really different :)
healthy biryani! Yummy.
Now this is what i call perfect blend of nutrition,simplicity and taste...easy to make ,filling and healthy recipe
Will surely try it out:-)
yum!
soaking nutri nuggets in milk is a nice touch, do you soak them straight from the packet, or they need to be whashed/soaked in water first ?
somethin new fro me to try,..looks yum,..
Biryani looks yummy N its healthy too, with soya chunks in it
Briyani looking yummy and healthy..gud entry for the event :)
Biryani sounds interesting. Shall try this soon.
Hey Medha,
I tried this today for lunch... the taste came good ( I had used Olive oil - 2 tbsp) ... but the Soya chunks were really hard... I had followed all the steps as stated ( including time )...
I guess I went wrong somewhere... dealing with the cooking of the chunks... they were not soft at all... Pls advice... I liked the recipe .. as it is so nutritious... but if the chunks are hard... it all goes futile.
