Khubooli Lentil Biryani

Khubooli is a delicious dish with lentils and basmati rice and is a classic in our house, and our family loves it. Also referred to as Biryani it's a unique Hyderabadi dish that is truly mouth watering! The rice is layered with chana dal and then rice again in a pan and baked together. This gives the Khubooli Biryani a very different flavor and taste. We make this dish on special occasions like Eid and parties.
