Biryani Rice

Biryani Rice for weekend match with meat barbecue. I tasted my first Biryani rice in a Persian resto in Makati and fell in love with it right away.

I introduced it to my wife and kids and they love it too. Cooking Biryani rice is almost the same with Chinese or Japanese fried rice but Biryani has this ingredients that are so exotic than the usual oriental fried rice.


The usual rice used is the Basmati rice from Pakistan but any rice will do. Basmati rice is so expensive check it out in your favorite supermarket. So last weekend, we made our home cooked Biryani rice (our own version).














The ingredients are:

1. Rice (of course :P )
2. Cashew
3. Raisin
4. Cinnamon
5. Onions
6. Garlic
7. Salt

For some, you might want to add these;

1. Curry
2. Cloves

For some, shortcut is to buy Biryani paste in your favorite supermarket. :)

My Weekend Cooking

I love Gindara with Teriyaki Sauce. Last Saturday we bought Gindara fish in South Supermarket. It's been a while since I cooked my favorite fish and weekend is the perfect day to cook it. Check out my Gindara Recipe. :)

I wasn't able to get the best Gindara slice but for me any part of the fish will do. Maybe next time I will get lucky. My first taste of this delicious fish is from a Japanese Restaurant in Makati and the cost was very expensive for a small piece of fish. I said to myself, I'll cook this one for me and my family. My first try is not bad at all although my ingredients are not complete but just the same my love ones ate my Gindara with gusto. The second try was great! So for those who like to cook fish, here's how I cook my Gindara.

Ingredients:

Gindara Fish Slice
