Chicken Donne Briyani

Donne Briyani is common among Bangaloreans, but hope it would be a new one to other people. I have prepared chicken Briyani, but this recipe can be followed with lamb for mutton briyani and vegetables for vegetable briyani. I have heard a lot about this Donne Briyani as Shivaji Nagar Briyani, but haven’t tasted it. Since the briyani is served in a Donne it is known as “DONNE BRIYANI”. Recently got to know about this recipe from one of my blogger friend, when I looked into the recipe, it looked as the same as that of Anganan Briyani but there are two differences. Briyani was delicious and my kids loved it. But this briyani is good only when it’s hot, so do not pack for lunch. Let us move on to the recipe…
