Appearance - Colorful
Smell - Aromatic because of the coriander
Taste - Good. Didn't make it too spicy so feels right with your taste buds
Rating - V didn't sweat but he said he liked it. What more would I want???
Back in India, whenever mom couldn't cook at home, we had the liberty of buying food from outside. This used to happen once in a blue moon. Mom never felt it was healthy to eat outside food.
The interesting thing about this ritual was when dad got me Chicken Briyani.
Apart from the chicken there was always this egg hidden and it was always a delight as a little girl who loved eggs, to find it.
I have always wanted to know how to make egg briyani.
Yesterday was the day when I experimented.
I browsed at least 50 websites before I got convinced with a website to prepare egg briyani.
I found this recipe and to my excitement a fellow blogger had recommended the same link.
WOW!!!
I was easily convinced :P
The recipe turned out real good. MRM was out of town. V,GP and me got together. GP totally liked it. GP wants me to do this one more time. Maybe this month end we might do a cooking night.

Corrections I made.
- Did not use coconut.
- Slit the eggs and fried them in little oil, 1/2 tbsp of chilli powder, 1/2 tbsp of black pepper and a pinch of turmeric before I tossed them into the paste.
- Mom's tip which I like to remember - Fry all ingredients for 2 -3 minutes before blending them to a paste. She thinks the raw smell will go away.
