#indiankitchen Heaven on my plate. Nandu means "Crab". How can one miss out on the Malabar seafood? Nandu Dum Biryani turned out well beyond my expectation, surely different from any other biryani’s… The flavour of Crab and typical malabar spice enhance the flavour of Biryani to a next level. Trust me friends it’s gonna be heavenly.
