Mushroom biryani is a nice alternative for vegetarian friends.
Mint Leaves / Pudhina Illai
Mint Chutney / Pudina Chutney / Pudina Thogayal
Mint has very unique strong smell, adding it to food gives the kick it needs. Mint Chutney goes very well with Idili and Dosas. Refrigerate this up to a week by grinding it very thick without adding water.
Chicken Biryani Tamilnadu Style
Biriyani is one of the famous foods in India. The way of making differs all over India with slight taste variations. Taste of the biriyani lies in the ingredients added and mainly depends on the order in which they are added. This is a very simple recipe used mostly in the southern state of Tamil Nadu.
The same procedure can be used to make Veg, Mushroom Biriyanis taking out the Chicken and related marination stuffs. Taste and Flavor of the biryani comes well when you trial it for more number of times. I added Orange Food Color- 1/4 tsp to get this color.
Pudina Pulao / Mint Pulao / Mint Rice
Mint has a strong flavor. For any biryani’s, pulao’s mint adds extra ordinary aroma. Mint chutney goes fabulous with Idili and dosa. At my home we grow up mint in a pot to pick it fresh when needed. Even now I have mint planted in a pot in my balcony. This is a simple mint pulao with peas and potato.
Vegetable Biryani – Method 1
Vegetable biriyani prepared in dum method. Well, this turned out little messy as I over cooked the rice. When preparing rice for dum method, it shouldn’t be cooked more than half done.
Mint Coriander Chicken Curry / Pudhina Kothamali Chicken
When I went to one of my friend’s house, they prepared this gravy for dinner. Oh man !! I really fell in love with that since then. It’s been yrs since I prepared, so I don’t remember the recipe exactly. Each time I prepare this, I try to get to the original. Am trying still, when I get it exactly, I will update this post with the additional details.
