Chicken Tikka Biryani

Chicken Tikka Biryani can be prepared by cooking chicken at botton along the marinade masala, with the partial cooked basmati on top; other method would be frying the chicken tikka separate and serving along the dum biryani. I tried making a spicy masaledar Tikka Biryani, where the fried Tikka served along was a well pondered combination. Nothing could beat it!!! It was just a finger licking Biryani :P Try one for a weekend & enjoy along your family. You can make it also for small family get together or functions.
Sunday meal included Sanna, Biryani by me... Chicken Sukha, Lady Fish pepper curry by Mom :)
