A specialty from Bangalore’s iconic military hotels, Chicken Donne Biryani is a spicy and aromatic biryani served in donne (leaf bowls). Unlike Hyderabadi biryanis, this version has a green masala base made with coriander, mint, and green chiles, giving it a unique flavor. I love how quick this biryani is to prepare, yet it packs so much flavor in every bite!
