Bohri chicken biryani is a very tasty and different biryani from other recipes. Bohri recipes are mostly made with mutton so I tried their original recipe mentioned here on this page. It was really appreciatable.
My Brother-in-law is from Pakistan and I love their food so I was looking for recipes to fix for my family. I found this one bohri chicken biryani and my husband has added it to his favorites category. I even fixed it for my mother-in-law and she loved it too.
Bohri chicken biryani is the most creative biryani that I've seen! It is garnished with crunchy fried onions and papardh.
The best thing about bohri chicken biryani is that the unique garnishing and taste makes it so much more worthwhile than regular biryani.
Hmmm its must be very much delicious i have plan to cook this recipe today.
