About

With biryani being my go-to meal at our favorite Indian restaurant, I’ve come to realize I love hearty rice dishes as a main. This one is particularly addictive thanks to the mix of savory spices, sweet quick-pickled raisins, and salty pistachios. Wyatt wants you to know that you could also fold some Shredded Chicken into this dish as well, if you’d like.
