Hi
I have one question, why do we have to put tawa first and then vessel over that?
asiya says
Thats a very good question Aks...Placing tawa first and then the vessel helps the bottom of the cooking pot to prevent burning of all the masala marinade...If the tawa is not placed then the marinade may burn and all the biryani turns out dry...If we place the tawa, the base of the vessel does not burn and the biryani turns out dry free...
