Egg Dum Biryani

Comfort food, Egg biryani, makes for a perfect Sunday meal with raita and curry. Yesterday, I
was inspired to make a flavored rice and since our family loves eggs, I decided on Egg biryani
which has a striking resemblance to Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani. Its easy to put
together, substantial and full of flavor. Serve to family and friends and wait for the compliments.

Next time will blog another version of Egg biryani that calls for scrambling the eggs.

Hi dear, i had recently found that your above recipe had been plagiarized on Facebook
page by Saqib free cooking school. I thought i should bring this to your notice, below is

link for the proof.

http://www.facebook.com/topic....

This person is plagiarizing many popular recipes from internet. Recently he plagiarized
my recipe, when i reported to him, he pretended as if someone else copied and posted
the recipe and posted on his wall that he would delete his page. His followers were naive
and they asked him not to delete his page not knowing his culprit works.

In order to fight against his plagiarizing works i am collecting evidences against him.
Before taking this incidence to him, kindly report this incident to Facebook team through
Report page link. We want him to be caught red-handed.
