I tried this recipe …..it tastes so yummy
Thanks
Today i tried this recipe …it was mindblowing!!! This time I used d exact measurements dat u mentioned,usually I dont follow theexact proportion 🙂
So it was fab after following your exact measurements. I have a doubt, do you really use a measuring spoon to take all masalas? or is it just an approx amount dat u have mentioned
Thanks Maya for sharing the recipe!!
Thanks Preethi! Actually this recipe was shared by my cousin, Lakshmy..Great to know that it came out well for you. I usually dont use a measuring spoon, I think I can get away with approximate measurements these days 🙂
Came out gr8
Thank u
Hi! Maya,
I wanted to try out this beef preparation. Had a question about the garam masala. I have garam masala powder made by following your mutton biryani recipe. So, should I use that for this recipe? Or uses store bought? Thanks.
You can use homemade garam masala powder for this recipe..
