As an ardent biryani fan, I am always on the lookout for different varieties of biryanis and their recipes. Come Ramadan, I look forward to the elaborate iftaar parties that some of my Muslim friends host. The hero of these dinners is usually the biryani. Chicken biryani, mutton biryani, pudina biryani, lamb biryani, fish biryani, vegetable biryani — I have had the privilege of tasting biryanis of all types and forms. When I came across this chicken biryani recipe with seviyan, I was a bit hesitant to try. I am a biryani fan but I am an even bigger fan of rice! How can you make biryani with anything other than rice! — was my first thought too. But this variation of chicken biryani with vermicelli did not disappoint at all! Here is a chicken biryani recipe with vermicelli/seviyan that I’m sure you’ll love too.
