VEGETABLE Biryani
A Biryani is one of THE most aromatic and savoury middle-eastern dishes!
Back in the day, this was considered a royal dish for Nawabs (Nobles) and Nizams (Governors or Administrators). Nowadays, biryanis continue to maintain a worldwide reputation as a LAVISH dish usually served for celebrations and festivities! Expensive to make because of the extensive list of ingredients used in it, but it is absolutely worth every effort and expense just to be able to share with everyone here in Nova Scotia!
