Biryani is considered as a special occasion dish in India. This dish is very popular in Hyderabad and is a very rich food.
While paneer biryani may taste well it becomes dangerous when ghee, dalda or oil is added. Consuming normal conventional biryani is a surefire way to get your arteries choked.
Consuming biryani daily will surely lead to heart attack or poor cardiac function.
