Hello everyone!!!

Hope you all are good and enjoying your lives. Take care of yourself and others in this pandemic situation of covid. Today I'm back to be a part of contest #8 organized by #SecretBeauty to tell about "my favorite food".
My favorite food is BIRYANI, it's traditional food of Pakistan. It is famous all over country and its taste and spices varies from area to area but Karachi's biryani is best and famous all over the country.

BIRYANI is most essential part of any event it could be wedding, birthday, get together, festivals or any occasion. It is the main Manue of every event in pakistan. My husband and kids always ready to eat biryani. So I often made biryani at home.

If we consider it's Nutritious value it's a complete diet. Having protein, carbs, oil, many vitamins and minerals from ingredients.
