Malabari Cauli Biryani

This is one of the most famous regional dishes from my hometown, Calicut. I mean it’s so famous that any wedding in Kerala would be incomplete without it. It’s none other than the Malabari Biryani. It’s a personal favorite of mine. The Malabari Biryani isn’t the same as the Biryani you get in the north…. And I would have to say it’s exquisite in its own way. If you’re gonna make it, I’m telling you, It’s gonna take some time but it’s worth the effort. I decided to turn my Moms Classic Recipe into something that is more Keto Friendly. And I was not disappointed at all. P.S.- The entire credit goes to my mom, who makes it for me and have taught me how to make the tastiest Biryani ever. Love You, Mom!!!
