ReplyDeleteDear Mrs Mano,
ReplyDeleteWent thru your blog & found all of them are mouth watering recipes. I've just started cooking & have not heard much about cooking in a 'dhum' in my place here . Is it a rice cooker?
Thank you for the help.
Dear Mano Aunty,This briyani was enjoyed by my family members.Thankyou Aunty and love to learn more from you.-Rathy.
ReplyDeleteDear Devas!
ReplyDeletethanks for the feedback.
It is not a rice cooker. I always ' dhum' the briyani in the gas oven.
if you want to do it manually, you can use a dosaikkal.
Heat it full and reduce it to slow fire.
place the chicken briyani vessel on it and cover it with a lid.
Place a small bowl of cold water on top.
After 10 minutes, the water will be semi hot. This means that the briyani is half done. Open the cover and mix well. Again cover it with the lid. After 10 minutes the water will be hot and the briayni is ready now!
Dear Rathy!
ReplyDeleteI am happy that the briyani turned so well for you!
