SHAHI HYDERABADI BRIYANI RICE RECIPE.. MUTTON BRIYANI RICE RECIPE WITH RAITA


SHAHI  HYDERABADI  BRIYANI RICE RECIPE.

Welcome to my very special guest, Shobha from "Food Mazaa" of Mumbai, India, who loves cooking, painting and reading, enjoys listening to music and making handicrafts. Here she is  ...
cooking-varieties : Shobha, my special thank you to you  for your willingness to do this guest post in my blog, a rich spicy and aromatic  SHAHI  HYDERABADI  BIRIYANI  RICE.
cooking-vareties : How would you introduce yourself shobha?
Shobha : I am a home maker, graduated in English Literature. Born a SIndhi in Andhra Pradesh, but a South Indian at heart. My parents inculcated both cultures in me. I read and write Telugu as well as Sindhi, which is in Persian Script. I lived in Chennai and have been moving to other countries back and forth due to my husband's transferable job. Currently, we are settled in Mumbai.


Blessed with a wonderful family, a loving and caring husband, two sons who have made us proud.(elder son is MSc in computer engineering and MBA and the second son is a PhD. in Bio-engineering, both settled in USA) A lovely daughter-in-law Holli and an adorable  2 year old grand daughter Maya.
 I have lived in UK, Nigeria and Brazil and travelled to many countries. I like Brazil most. Brazilians are very warm, welcoming and friendly people. We lived there for 10 years and now speak Portuguese well.

  23. Cuisinart coffee makers are easy to use, reasonably priced, easy to clean, and make great coffee . The best part about owning a cuisinart coffee maker, is that if a piece breaks, I don't have to buy a whole new machine, because there are places that specialize in selling
    cuisinart coffee maker parts
