I have found a great way to make briyani :) - well everyone who ate it said so .. :)
Make your normal curry-base with meat, chickend or vege with the briyani masala with a bit of yoghurt but lots of onions.
As for the rice, you need to soak for 1/2 hour and then boil it separately until it is about 90% cooked. Drain the water - i use a strainer which is effective.
While the rice and the curry are cooking, cut more onions and prepare some frozen peas.
Fry onions and then the peas separately in ghee (it smells and tastes good!!).
Chop some coriander leaves for garnishing.
In the pot containing the briyani paste/curry, transfer a good layer of rice, add a layer of onions and peas and then layer again with the rice, onions, peas and continue until you have layed all the prepared stuff. It is best to do this when the curry is still hot and the rice a bit cool so that the rice doesn't get soaked or overcook.
Garnish with coriander.
Leave it for about 1-2 hours.
Mix the rice and curry together - you should get rice that looks as though it is coated with the curry paste yet quite dry and oily. :).
Yummy!
(For your info i cheat using Shan Briyani mix :) - i have not tried doing briyani masala on my own, will try that using mrs Kugan's recipe for sure!). :slurp: :slurp:

[tscii]I do not know the difference between ponggal and akaravadisal
My cousin volunteered to do the akaravadisal for us.
It was truly mouth watering. The measurements were very correct.
The akarvadisal with cashews and raisins popping out and the ghee was just flowing. It was super sweet.
I think no harm in having 2 tbs of it once in a way. :lol:
AKARAVADISAL
Ingredients:
1 cup raw rice
½ a cup of moong dal
2 cups of milk
3 cups of vellam
100 grms ghee
25 grms cashew nuts
10 grms of raisins
1 tsp cardamom powder
A tiny pinch of pachai karpuram (optional)
Method:
Wash the rice and the moong dal.
Drain well, let it dry a bit.
Then dry roast in a wok till nice aroma comes.
Add 4 cups of water and cook in a pot over low fire
till the mixture is well cooked. Stir once in a way.
In the meantime boil the milk in a separate container.
Let it boil well, then add it to the rice dal mixture,
And let the mixture become soft (kulaiya)
Boil the sugar with little water till kambi patham.
Add this to the rice dal mixture, after this, you have
to keep on stirring or will get burnt at the bottom.
Heat a pan with the ghee and fry the nuts and the raisins.
Add it to the cooking rice dal mixture, add the cardamom powder.
Also add the patchai karpuram if using.
Mix every thing and remove from stove.
A truly delicious akaravadisal
