Mutton vs chicken vs egg Biryani which one is the most delicious one?

1. Mutton Biryani

Mutton Biryani requires a lot more effort than chicken as all the rich spices have to be mixed up well with the meat and rice to bring that ultimate aroma. And most of the spices are rich and exotic for the mutton.

2. Chicken Biryani

Chicken Biryani needs fewer spices than mutton. Chicken is soft and tender for which all the spices get easily absorbed in the meat. And you don’t need a pressure cooker for cooking the chicken as well.

3. Egg Biryani

It is considered to be easier than both meat or mixed vegetable biryani. And eggetarians would also enjoy this dish which will only be served with two eggs, long grain rice mixed in lots of aromatic spices.
