Donne Biryani Recipe-Sunday Lunch Recipes-16

Donne biryani-I don’t need to introduce this biryani for Bangaloreans .For people who are new to this biryani,letme tell you what it is.Donne biryani is the most popular biryani recipe in and around Bangalore.You can find manyhotels serving this biryani in areas like Banashankari,Chickpet,Rt nagar,Rajaji nagar etc.As far as i know,the mostpopular one is “Shivaji Military hotel”-Jayanagar.This biryani is usually served in a big,hand pressed bowls madeof plantain leaf( as shown in the pic).It is called as “Donne” in Kannada.So this biryani is fondly called as donnebiryani.Being a Bangalore resident for ten years,it would be unfair if i don’t post this recipe in my Sunday biryani

series .I was introduced to this biryani by my friend Megha.Once when i went to her house,she showed me aparcel of donne chicken biryani and told about its popularity.Even though i couldn’t taste it,the smell and its greencolor was attractive and unique to me.At that time,i told Megha i will try this biryani in my vegetarian way.Finally,ithappened yesterday.I referred the recipe from here & here and made it.I used potato instead of chicken.I did notmarinate as per the original recipe and i did not use the vegetable stock for cooking.So this recipe has somedeviations from the authentic one but still the taste was great.The flavor of jeera rice( jeeraga samba arisi) alongwith ground mint+coriander leaves masala paste while cooking was simply awesome.It would make anyone feel

hungry .Sendhil,Myself and Raksha loved this biryani a lottt.Friends,do try this recipe in a weekend and let meknow your feedback :).
