Experimentation continued...

My Experiments with cooking are on and today all of a sudden, backed up by the confidence of having Mom's cookery notes, I decided to make Hyderabadi Biryani...Yes guys..u read it right..Hyderabi Biryani.(For those of who cannot get what I am talking about, please Google..).Though I was sure that I will not be able to make it upto the real Hydrabadi's expectations, I wanted to make it a decent success..The best part wen u cook for many people is that the work gets divided and the main job gets easier...Onions, Beans, Garlic, Ginger and other spices were cut into fine pieces. After the main gravy was made, the vegetables and pre-semi-fried rice were added into it..and was boiled for 10 minutes..There was a air of silence in the room as the expectations ran high...and Finally..the vessel was opened..we could smell some good aroma...It was well above the expectations except the fact that it was a bit spicy and the gravy was less compared to the quantity of rice..
So what..There is always a next chance and I am sure that all these negativities will be OKayed that time..
and Finally what marks would I give for this Biryani.??..While the expectations were to score 90 marks out of 100, this Biryani scored 75 out of 100..far above the pass marks of 40!!
