Today is the last day in BM thali menu…So I thought to finish this week with a festive thali. In our place If there is any functions like marriages or anything, they serve two kinds of food list..One is a complete vegetarian fiesta meal which consisits of steamed rice, sambar, dal, rasam, buttermilk, poriyal, avial, mango kossu, chilli pachadi, cucumber kichadi, potato korma, pumpkin pachadi, papad, banana, Poran boli and three kind of payasam.wow..How elaborate is that..But on the other side they make another kind of meal which consists of vegetable briyani, onion raita, potato korma, paratha, curd rice, mango kossu, tomato jam, papad and any kind of payasam. I thought of making a complete southindian lunch thali at first..But due to time constrains I made the second one.
I always make vegetable briyani in pressure cooker, But once I started to make briyani this way I am not going to the old version. Making briyani like this, gives it a very unique smell as well as flavour. The main step for this is cooking of rice, please visits this post to check out the recipe step by step..
This Festive Thali has
Vegetable Dum Briyani
Papad
