hara masala biryani mGreen Masala/ Hara masala or Chutney Chicken biryani is my special post for Pakistan day 2016. Pakistan Day is a public holiday in Pakistan to remember the Lahore Resolution on March 23 each year. The word “Pakistan” was never used but the Lahore Resolution is considered a major milestone in the Muslim struggle for an independent state in undivided India.

I have used green food color for special occasion but you can skip food color.
