When I have started my blog, I found that Chittagong has vast collections of many authentic Bangladeshi recipes . I love to share those authentic recipes with my readers. In this Chittagonian journey my first recipe is Beef Biryani which is famous in mejban.

Big thanks go to my lovely sister in law (Urmee) for this recipe. As you can see this dish with lots of spices. But interesting part is that my Aussie brought up daughter just loves this Biryani. She calls it spicy rice. Hope you will like this Biryani too.
