    Mango Chicken Biryani

    This year I had been little unfair to mangoes, no creations and post was done with them 🙁

    To fill this gap, I decided to give the tribute to king of fruits as they vanishing away fast. And to provide a right justice to them, nothing could be best than making a spicy, sweet and sour Mughlai treat- Mango Chicken Biryani. Yeah, you read it right, rich spicy chicken biryani with base of raw and ripe mangoes. All of them merged beautifully to give the spot-on balance to sourness, sweetness and spiciness, trust me this was the easiest biryani I have ever made and it was full of deliciousness. No fancy masalas (spices) required, all you need is the ingredients that are easily available in every kitchen. This spicy, sweet and sour mango Chicken Biryani was a very big hit in my family as well as my neighbors and friends. I was requested by them to make it again before the mangoes say bye to us. Hold on, I can relish this biryani for the whole year, as my freezer is stocked with raw and ripe mangoes and here it is how you can do it. Coming back to biryani, it can served with garlic plum raita or even boondi raita.

    I was the most happy mother when my kids gave a big thumbs-up to this yummilicious Mango Chicken Biryani. So, ladies, do try this unique combo and surprise your family and friens every time you make it, you will love and so will they!!  🙂
