Mutton Semiya is one of the famous dish,which muslims prepare during ramzaan.My friend Ayeesha,gave me the recipe .We thoroughly enjoyed this dish.This resembles biriyani,but in semiya texture.My h was sceptic about the taste,at first look.After finishing two bowls,he was addicted to its taste.Give it a try.U will love it.
