Description

My kids favourite dish . Both my kids did their schooling in boarding schools . My every visit their first wanted thing in their list would be macaroni biriyani . I used to make loads for them as their friends also were great fans of macroni biriyani . I learnt this dish from my mother in law . Even till date how much ever I prepare at home , there has never been left overs of macroni biriyani . A dish apt for guests , kids , dinner at home or even for lunch box to school .
