Leftover tips:
Usually Briyani will never go Leftover. Just in case if it happens, you can keep it in Fridge and heat it in microwave before having it. It is better to have it within 24 hours. The reason to reheat is to get all the flavours back. Re-heating of Prawn dishes should be done with care unlike Mutton dishes. Mutton dishes (for example Mutton Briyani) need 2 or 4 min of reheating while Prawn dishes need 30 seconds to 1 min.
