		<description><![CDATA[Biriyani &#8211; Spiced Rice with meat dish. Which is a multinational phenomenon. Biriyani is an ever-growing set of memes and the focus of a culinary cult! The most memorable meals are not mostly about just &#8211; &#8220;food&#8221;! It&#8217;s a sentiment in fact.

The recipe may sound simple, but perfection? Yeah, that&#8217;s what I am talking about. A few tweaks to the dish makes it simply exquisite, you know! One such recipe is my Dad&#8217;s style [&#8230;]]]></description>

I yearn for our home style ethnic treats&#8230;soon I&#8217;ll be checking out my fellow bloggers (obviously drooling over those food pictures) and load my kitchen with more stuff! At the end, my preparation sucks. How about that? [&#8230;]]]></description>
