    Fish Biryani, Fish Dum Biryani, Dum biryani
    Biryani is a Flavoral and Aromatic dish. Fish is a Healthy source of protein and my favorite too. Briyani always makes a complete meal. Briyani is a flavored rice cooked with meat, fish, vegetables or pulses along with spices and herbs. My all time favorite is chicken briyani that mom prepares. The first thing that come to my mind on hearing the word fish is fish fry. I love any dish with fried fish. Fish briyani is a great treat for sea food lovers like me. I always wanted to make a Perfect Fish Briyani, a dum briyani for this space. I have been trying this for a long time and atlast i did it. I have used smaller steaks of Seer fish/Vanjiram Meen for this recipe. Any type of fish with lesser bones and bigger size suits briyani. The fish is marinated in spices and cooked with rice into a flavoral briyani. Fish is my favorite, Fish Briyani no words to say... Now lets checkout the recipe...

    Tips:

    • While frying the fish in a tawa make sure enough oil is there or the fish would stick to the tawa and might break. Or you may use a non stick pan
    • Do not watste the remains after fish fry add it on top of the dum. It adds taste.
    • Capsicum adds nice flavor to the briyani.
