BABY POTATO BIRYANI
Baby Potato Biryani - Rice cooked with baby potatoes and spices. A good biryani must have a wonderful aroma,but not too spicy and more specifically the rice must be cooked perfect,must be loose and chewy.
This dish needs more time and patience , but no doubt that it makes a great Sunday Feast :).

Now add the chopped tomatoes along with the spice powders , mix well and cook in low flame until the oil begins to seperate.
When the tomatoes get blended well, tip in the baby potatoes and mix it gently. Cook for few more mins. Remove from heat and reserve.
Now its time to cook our rice, In a pan, add the rice along with savory liquid, strain and add it.
