Burnt Garlic Prawn Biryani is something I tasted at a restaurant called Kopper Kadai which is located at Koramangala, Bengaluru. I had many requests on my facebook fan page for a good prawn biryani recipe after tasting this at the restaurant, I wanted to recreate the same for my audience. We recommend you should visit kopper kadai once, they serve superb northwest frontier cuisine.
