Rava Birayani
Just to share with you…..
Many people in India (mostly south Indians) are great fans Biriyani. For most occasions and festivals Biriyani is the most often made recipe. Biryani is made using basmathi rice or seeraka samba rice (very small size rice commonly called as birayani rice by people).This recipe is made using lots of spices.
We all can cook Veg Birayani and Non-Veg Birayani’s. Yesterday when I was talking to my friend Monica she was telling me that she tried chicken birayani with pasta basically rice is substituted with pasta in the birayani and it came good. Today morning when I was thinking what to make for the breakfast suddenly i felt why we should not try Birayani out of Wheat Rava because my plan was to make wheat Rava upma. I tried out cooking Wheat Rava Birayani and the outoput was good.
It slightly diffent from Rava kitachadi which we make with Rava by adding vegetables. The difference is the addition of spices we use for Birayani.Wheat Rava Biryani is very good for diabetic and those who are on diet and also people who are not supposed to take the oily non-veg birayani. This biryani has very less oil and contains lots of vegetables.
