My Take On A Lamb Briyani

Curries are my passion, I love eating them as much I love cooking them. Very easy to make and really good with left overs. Especially since they have all those spices added to them . You can make it as hot as you like, or even maybe sweet. This is a combination between both. I'm sure you will like it. I was reading different recipes on this style of curry. I did take a few notes and ideas, bit non of them were exactly to my palate , so I arranged it and twisted it. The result was extraordinary  . So lets get cooking.
