To reduce the heat, decrease the amount of green chilies and red chili powder. You can use Kashmiri red chili powder for a vibrant color with less spiciness.
Add par-cooked vegetables like carrots, peas, beans, and potatoes to the masala along with the eggs for a more wholesome meal.
Replace the eggs with bone-in chicken pieces. Marinate the chicken with the masala ingredients for at least an hour before cooking it until tender, then proceed with layering the rice.
Eggs are a complete protein source, providing all the essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
Basmati rice is a good source of complex carbohydrates, which break down slowly to provide a steady supply of energy, keeping you fueled for hours.
The use of spices like turmeric (containing curcumin), ginger, and garlic provides potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, helping to combat oxidative stress in the body.

One serving of Kodi Guddu Biryani contains approximately 750-850 calories, depending on the amount of oil and ghee used. It's a rich and wholesome meal.
It can be part of a balanced diet. It's a good source of protein from eggs and carbohydrates from rice. However, it is high in calories and fat, so it's best enjoyed in moderation, especially if you are watching your weight.
Absolutely. The spice level is easily adjustable. Reduce the quantity of green chilies and red chili powder. Using a milder chili powder like Kashmiri chili will give color without intense heat.
Kodi Guddu Biryani pairs wonderfully with a cooling side dish like cucumber raita, onion raita, or a traditional Andhra accompaniment like Mirchi ka Salan (chili curry).
It's not recommended. The 'dum' cooking process requires par-cooked (70% cooked) rice, which absorbs the steam and flavors from the masala. Fully cooked rice would become soft and mushy.
Store any leftover biryani in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, sprinkle a little water over it and microwave until hot, or gently heat it in a pan on the stovetop.
