Keema Biryani Recipe

Who needs an introduction for biryani? Unless, of course, you think vegetable pulao and vegetable biryani are the same (in which case you need therapy and treatment). But seriously, the Indian rice dish is known far and wide for its taste, flavour, and sheer awesomeness. And as popular as biryani is, so is the wide variety in which the preparation is available. One such variant is the keema biryani that uses minced meat instead of chunks of meat.

The biryani is fairly to make if you’ve ever forayed into biryani making before. All you need are the required spiced, the desired amount of minced meat and rice and voila! You’ve got yourself an aromatic pot of keema biryani! Follow the recipe below to make some at home!
