Thalashery Chicken Biryani

Chicken Biryani is very important for festive occasions in Kerala. Different styles like Kozhikodan Biryani, Malabar Biryani, Thalashery style, Kayees Biryani famous in Central Kerala especially Cochin....the list goes on and on..... This recipe I had noted in my recipe book some time back from a TV show.

I try incorporating beets or beet greens in my cooking at least once a week. Beets have a distinctive earthy flavor. Most people have a love-hate relation with beets and here I am talking about beets in desserts. Don't give up on beets already. If cooked properly beets have a subtle sweetness and the more you cook you will get an aromatic sweet flavor when the beet sugar caramelize. So you might have guessed how much I love this veggie. I adore its color, sweetness and earthy flavor. Add this to any dish it will give it a new look and in desserts a unique taste and aroma.
