Hyderabadi Biryani is Hyderabad's most famous meat-and-rice dish. Hyderabadi Biryani, made of Chicken or Eggs or Vegetables, instead of the Mutton, are also popular.I don't think there is a separate recipe for egg biryani as such its just substituting eggs for meat and cooking it accordingly.
Nutritional values of Egg .
You can cook it layer method or Pulav method.In case if you plan to make it layer way then you should use curd and cook the rice separately and then arrange in layers as you do it for veg biryani and cook on low flame or in the oven.I prefer cooking it pulav method ,just for a change ,so I didn't use curd,but please feel free to experiment & play around .Here is the recipe.
