                 My husband is a die hard fan of egg.And my kid Kannan is a true follower of his dad.So it is very easy to satisfy both of them even with a simple omelet.
But when i asked him suggetion for making egg biriyani as sunday special I didnt get much support.But when I served it,the response was unbelievable!The same comment and excitement I got from my friend too.You can take it with raita,pappad or with pickle
