Re: Chawal and Dam
if you're boiling rice for biryani, you have to drain then just before they are done.. aik kanni chawal. :)They you put the masala and put it on dum.. The reason to put biryani on dum is to make sure that the masala is fully heated plus, it mixes with the rice well. If you fully cook the rice first and mix the masala, the chawal seem to break and make a "happa" :D
And you need to put damp cloth for the dum for the reason that the chawal which are uncooked, get the moisture and are done..
