Learn Beef Dum Biryani recipe here.
Eid is never complete without Biryani, so this time, try out your ever-favourite soul-food with Beef.
Beef Biryani is a Queen's feast. Just like any other biryani, it's easy to make and delicious. A funny story is, I thought I was cooking Lamb until later I found out (which was after the whole dish was completed) that I had been cooking Beef. But it wasn't regretting at all. Beef is an excellent source of protein, iron, potassium and sodium.
It was so delectable and aromatic, thought I'd share the recipe with everyone.
