The dum method I used was:
1st time: MAde it in pressure cooker kept on tawa. Instead of the weight I kept an upturned katori to keep the steam in without the seetie happening. The result was ok...

2nd time: MAde it in non-stick vessel kept on tawa. Placed aluminium foil over it. Then a lid with some water, and a heavy object on it to keep the steam sealed in. I got good results with this method.

Is there any other better way to cook with dum on a gastop?

As for my oven, I have a microwave oven with convection option. So I use the convection setting while making Biryani. Would really appreciate your inputs for a suitable vessel.

And thanks for your feedback on the idlis... :D

PS: Made idlis and dosas using your atta method. The idlis were much softer that they usually are when I make them, but became harder when they cooled down a bit. Is this normal? How do I avoid this in future. I grind the atta using a sumeet mixie, if that makes any difference... Thanks again...

hi thattai,
thanks for emailing me the recipe collections!

Hi Thattai,

Can you please send Mrs. Mano's recipe collection to ravisaiani@yahoo.com ? Thanks in advance.

Mrs. Mano,

I made your poondu kuzhambu yesterday and my husband loved it so much.

I was going thru your veg biriyani (mogul) type recipe. I want to try it. In the recipe your have told that we have to cook the 3 cups of rice with 6 cups water until the water evaporates. I think this means that the rice is fully cooked. So when we layer, we are using 1 cup of cream to sprinkle on the 3 layers of rice, layer by layer. Will it not make the rice too mushy after slow cooking it for 20 mts. I had a bad experience of mushy biriyani with layering method before. That is why I want to clarify before I try it. Am I understanding it wrong. Please help me.

You recipe collection is a standard fixture in my kitchen.

Thank you so much,
Sai
