I have enjoyed a lot of varieties of biryanis, but never got a chance to eat this bombay biryani, till I made this. I got the bombay biryani mix from my husband’s cousin ( who is a good cook). They usually make this and when my husband visited them, she sent this mix with him. So I thought of giving it a try and made the biryani just as how it was written on the pack. The result was an amazing finger licking dish with a nice aroma that filled the house. One pack of this mix is required for one preparation (about 8 plates).
