A spicy mince beef and veggie rice casserole makes this biryani a perfect dish that is easy to make, but still gets rave reviews from guests.
I love experimenting with dishes and that's exactly what I did with this version of biryani. I decided to use mince beef as the star ingredient. I love mince beef, chicken, pork, etc.. because there is no need to cut anything before you cook it, simply brown your ground meat and you can do so much with it.
I also experimented when it came to the dairy I used in this dish. I usually would use buttermilk or yogurt in my biryani dishes, but I did not have any on hand when I made this dish. I did have a container or sour cream in the fridge and since it's tangy and creamy... why not! It worked out great.
I served the biryani with a creamy cucumber and onion salad and some boiled eggs. It was a great weekend lunch that did not take me long to make and I had a happy family that came running to the table because it was so deliciously aromatic while it was cooking.
The family loved it so much that they asked for the leftovers for the next days lunch and dinner as well. I was so happy because that kept me out of the kitchen and I was able to just relax and cross kitchen duty off my list for the weekend.
