      This looks great.One question before I make it, which you may be able to answer: how do I stop the cinnamon shattering into a hundred pieces when I cut it. I want to make this for a friend, but I know he doesn't like picking out the bits of cinnamon. My sticks are about 7 cm long, so far too big for this recipe. Thank you in advance.

        We usually break the cinnamon with our hands. You can also use a sprinkling of ground cinnamon if you don't like to pick cinnamon in pulao.
