Missed the most important step.. frying the onions is the first step and the oil used for frying onion should be added with fried onion when marinating the mutton

Please make a video on the Hyderabad Paradise Egg Biryani. It tastes totally different from the mutton biryani. And the color is more yellowish. I had this around 5 years back in Hyderabad. Recently I tried to get it from the Pradise Biryani in Chennai. But it was not the same. I'm not sure if they have different recipes in Chennai and Hyderabad. I love the Hyderabad version. Please Please Please make a video on it
