Elijah Wood gorged on biryani in Hyderabad

Hollywood star Elijah Wood, who is on his debut India music tour, gorged on delicious biryani during his visit here, with its aroma and taste finding a way into his heart.

Elijah, best known as Frodo Baggins of "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, was here on Saturday for his performance. He reached Mumbai on Sunday and plans to rest before an event later in the night.

"He relished a lot of mutton biryani yesterday. It was cooked for two days on a special stone. Though Elijah loves Indian food and likes to have spicy food, the spice level of the dish was altered to suit him," a source told IANS.

The international star is on his debut India visit with Zach Cowie, with whom he makes the Wooden Wisdom DJ duo. He performed in Mumbai first, followed by Delhi.
