This will be my last post for this week. I am going on a vacation. That is the reason for making many thokku and ready mix recipes, this week. I have packed up a number of such readymix recipes. I have almost posted some of them. This is the final recipe. You could be able to make biryani, jsut by mixing this paste with cooked basmati rice. You could also mix this paste with soaked basmati rice, add litte salt and water. You could pressure cook it or cook like how you cook biryani. This will give best results. You could store this paste in refrigerator for 1 month. If you keep it in room temperature it comes with a shelf life for 10 days to 15 days. It has a very ncie taste too. it is also very easy to make this instant biryani paste.
