Biryani on the menu, a recipe too!

Biryani was on the menu for the cooking group last Friday, and we were being taught the traditional way it is made at home.

We had a good laugh making this dish as a group and learnt about new spices and flavours and how to combine them ... the result was delicious think we all had seconds!! With these ingredients we made a large pan that full fed us all with left overs too, nothing went to waste!
