I love to try different one pot meals. Normally my kids have a full lunch at home only during weekend and they don’t like to have sambar on both days. So normally Sunday is for one pot measl. Chettinad is famous for it’s unique dishes in which fresh spices are normally used to make dishes. When you add freshly roasted spices it gives a nice aroma and taste to the dish. Onion raita or cucumber raita goes well with this biryani. I have added Red chilies when making the masala powder. But you can use the red chili powder. Mint leaves give a nice flavour so don’t miss it
