Madam Jeyasri your webpage its like cooking dictionary for me. Its very handy. Thank you madam.
Hi Jeyashri akka,
I really like all your recipes & trying them one by one. today I made this pulavo . the rice was not cooked completely. what could have been the mistake. How can I correct it.
Thanks for the feedback Raguraman. coming to your query, either the water must be less . Always keep the cooker in medium flame for the whistle to come. If it is in high flame, whistles will come fast but rice will not be cooked.
Just sprinkle somewater and keep it covered in the pressure and put that in a small flame for 5 minutes. It will be done
Dear mam happened to c your blog while searching side dish for roti and really like your recepies and i will try one by one. Really super blog
