First of all thanks for the kind words.
...Sumbul<br /><br />First of all thanks for the kind words. <br /><br />Second, I have NOT cooked this Biryani. It is my friend's recipe and this post is also from her as I have mentioned many times.<br /><br />Third, my very generous friend read your comment and here is HER reply <br /><br />"1) 10% of the 100% power the microwave has - ie 1st setting. It has the lowest possible temp. Otherwise 'dam' will not happen.<br />2) If the rice is not completely cooled, it will still be cooking on high temp and wont give u the perfect quality of well-seperated rice once the biriyani is done. The mutton can still be hot, but rice must be at room temp.<br />3) When u r cooking the rice, check continuously after 7-8 mins. A grain of rice should have visible lines on it and should break easily when u try, still not fully done. Stop immediately at this point, stir and strain. It shud have sufficient water to be properly strained.

Very authentic and warm. <br />About your recipies- they sound fantastic as i read them i will try your biryani very soon. I make biryani with similar spices but always get the last step less than ideal- "dam-lagana" is an art. <br />i strain the water out and layer the meat with the rice as quicly as possible after straining. <br />i was reading your method and it said "<br />Put the bowl in micro 10% (not more) for 70 mins till the seal becomes hard."<br />i have 3 questions<br />what does 10% in the micro mean? <br />also- why does the rice need to be cooled before making the layers.... <br />when you are boiling the rice with the water how do you know it is ready to strain? any signs or tricks to know rice is ready to be strained<br /><br />thank you <br /><br />sumbul<br /> sumbulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026883239435031826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-89740447641589260892012-09-06T00:08:37.659-04:002012-09-06T00:08:37.659-04:00What a preparation ya, A big hug to you.

I will try out these ones you've mentioned too. I find it very difficult to pick out books to read these days - school days were simpler I guess - an Enid Blyton or an Agatha Christie would keep me engrossed. So recommendations are always welcome.<br /><br />Just a quick aside - will you be updating the kids' reading blog too? Would love some recommendations for my little girl aged 2.<br /><br />Thanks again!Vaishnavinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-34366608511309184602012-08-28T17:00:55.206-04:002012-08-28T17:00:55.206-04:00Lovely biryani and thanks for those book recommend...Lovely biryani and thanks for those book recommendations.
