Today I am sharing with you age-old recipe of my grand mother for making rice. Conventionally we used to give 'dum' to biryani that too using wheat dough. But I learnt this technique from my father (who in turn learned from his mother) in which she used to get the same impact by using tava.

  • Now add 2 cups of water to this as we are not pressure cooking the rice, (in this case 2 cups of water and ad 1/2 lemon juice so that your rice will not stick to each other)
  • Now close the pan with lid and cook it for 7 to 8 minutes on medium flame or till it is cooked Once you feel the 90% rice is cooked, keep your tava under the pan as shown in picture and cook rice for next 5 minutes so that the tava is nicely hot

  • After 5 to 6 minutes remove the tava and serve your rice with curd or curry whatever you like....

Notes

1. If you want your rice to be “khila khilla” non sticky add 1/2 lemon juice with water.
2. You can replace the green chana with green peas, french beans or any other vegetable of your choice
