The only one recipe which is loved by all ages - Biryani. My Kids started liking it too early, by 18 months itself both like biryani/pulao than the paruppu sadham or other less spicy foods :)So for them i make biryani lil' mushy and soft. But now they are little grown up boys and their likes n dislikes changed. The only happy thing is still they like biryani/pulao with rice grains separate no need of mushy biryani. Of all the biryanis Chicken Biryani is our Family Favorite n used to make monthly once or once in two months.
