Turkey Biryani
I see the sauce in the photograph, but what is the dish in the photograph? It looks good too.
Excellent without the chile and cayenne for those like me who are wimps about spices - without the heat, a nice counterpoint and balance to the heat of the turkey biryani. Since I use the yogurt sauce to tame spicy dishes, does not make sense to add heat to it, but that's just me.
