Hi,
You got very nice and innovative recipes. I tried your pudina pulao, came good but one thing,
the rice was grainy but with little lumps. If
I mix when hot it gets mushed. So how to avoid lumps and stir rice once cooked. (basmati rice 1:2 ratio for 2 whistles, I suite rice for 2 mins then add water)
Thanks,

Hi,
Thanks for sharing the recipe. Could you tell me what the bud-headed spice is in the photo? Its to the right of the cinnamon sticks. Is it the mentioned ingredient- java pepper? Iam confused coz the images for java pepper(cubeb)that came up in google search do not look like the ones in this picture…Hope to hear back soon.
