2. 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.
