We would sit in front of the cooler

It’s the season of sunny afternoons and dark

Add 1 tablespoon for about 100 gms of uncooked chickpeas

Ammiji’s Biryani Masala (90gm) red chillies We would sit in frontAmmijis favorite way to cook rice was what she called the Navrattan Pulao. Each time a meal was served for guests, we knew that the pice de resistance was going to be carried in, demoulded on to a lavish platter. It was a cake of three differently coloured rice studded with fried paneer cubes, peas, carrots and cashews. And it smelled like the best corner of heaven! That aroma of her Navrattan Pulao is what weve captured in this unique spice blend.
