Dear Mrs.Mano

I tried Kuska briyani. It was really Superb.

I just tried with one cup of rice and used my basic math to reduce the ingredents from 6 cups to one cup. I had a doubt that it wud come upto my expectations. Finally It turened out well. Could u pls post the ingredents for one cup.

Once more request, In all ur recipes kindly mention the number of servings.

I made Ribbon pakoda according to your recipe ( type II). It came out very well. Since I couldn't handle the murukku press, I turned the rest of the flour into thattai by adding few ingredients. It was awesome. Thanks for your recipe! I cannot handle the usual murukku press. It's very hard. Could you suggest any other easy thing which is available in the market? Since you are running a restaurant, You must be knowing some easy tools, I guess.

Thanks for your time and my belated Diwali wishes to you.

Thanks!

Dear Suganthi!

I felt happy to know that you have tested immediately the koththamalli briyani after seeing my recipe and became successful in it also.
Thanks a lot for the feedback.

Dear Noodles!

Thank you very much for yr effort in compiling all my recipes in a key note. Hope you would have received my mail.

I felt happy to know that yr kuska briyani turned delicious for you.
About mentioning the number of servings- it is a bit difficult for me to put it clearly. The numbers of servings may differ from meals to meals. Sometimes ‘4 servings’ may be enough only for 3. So the person who cooks is the correct person to finalize the number of the servings according to the taste of the guests and according to her experience. That is why I always do not mention the measurement of the salt in my recipes because that also varies according to everyone’s taste. Hope you will understand.

For Kuska briyani-for one cup of rice- you can follow these measurements of the ingredients.
Onion-1 [finely sliced]
Slit Green chillies-2
Cardamom-2
Cinnamon-1 pieces
Curry leaves- 1 arc
Chopped coriander leaves-1 tbsp
Chopped mint leaves- 1tbsp
Cloves-2
Cumin seeds-1 tsp
Coconut milk- half cup
Ghee-2 tbsp
Ginger paste-1/4 tsp
Garlic paste-1/4 tsp
