How to do the "dum"

Re: How to do the "dum"

ohh that actually sounds good , but unfortunately our oven isnt too big :( .. so i am wondering if shifting the rice to smaller oven proof dishes and then doing the dum would help at all?

You think your pateeli might be thin walled?

CB if you find a casserole dish they usually fit into a UK oven and work well :)

Re: How to do the "dum"

Yes, that's an option for you. However, it seems like a bit much work, no? Cooking in one pot, and then having to transfer the rice over?
Just make sure that the dish you're using has a cover as well, otherwise it won't work. Try it out, see if it makes any difference in the rice :D

Yes TLK, I have an induction hob and most induction pots are not heavy based or heavy walled :( .. so i know for sure that is one issue ...

smilestar, yes you are right , its indeed alot of work , specially when cooking in large amounts for dawats...

Do you have a garage ? If yes then setup a gas fired cooking range in garage for preparing dawat ka khana. You seems to be fond of throwing parties for your paitoo friend all the time. :woho:
