Ambur Biryani ~ Sunday Special ..!
Ambur Biryani is a famous & special type of Biryani of South India which emerged during the Nawab of Arcot’s regime. This one is a dum biryani & I enjoyed cooking it.
It has an unique appetizing taste and the rich spicy taste lies in the preparation method & mixing of the ingredients at right proportion.
