Thought of trying Fish Biriyani for a while now. My sis in law who lives in Chicago makes this and I first had a taste of this, like 8 years ago. Talk about procrastinating! The hubby loves the usual Chicken Biriyani so I never really thought of trying anything new. But I gave it try yesterday and it turned out rather well. ;)
