HOW TO MAKE EGG KUSKA BIRYANI IN PRESSURE COOKER - Egg Biryani Recipe

Egg Khushka Biryani 


Khushka / kuska / khusqa is a popular South Indian rice recipe which is very easy and flavorful. It is actually a plain rice which is very similar to ghee rice. Kuska or this plain rice is usually served along with kebab or vegetable korma or any other non veg curries.  Here am sharing the recipe of egg biryani or egg kuska biryani recipe which is paired with crispy fried chicken. Moreover, in this video we will learn how to make biryani or rice in a pressure cooker. For making kuska rice, i used basmati rice only. But you can also use sella rice or kabsa rice instead of basmati rice. And be careful, the cooking time for basmati rice and sella rice varies. A good alternative for plain steamed rice. So kindly watch the video and drop your feedback.
