Fish Biryani | Meen Biryani

Fish biryani is one of the newest recipes that I tried recently. At home, everyone is fond of Biryani and my husband is  greatest critic. So I try to experiment with different kinds of biryani, though the ingredients are similar; but the challenge is with the preparation.

So, for this recipe I chose farm raised Cat fish because they are flavorful, delicious; and most importantly they are easy to work and this fish retains its shape even after cook, also they dont break apart. I like layered biryani and used this concept for this dish too.

1 kg Cat Fish
