However, I never turn down the chance to go to Desi Khana in Stratford Rd (nr the... traffic lights at Foremans Rd junction) because the food is exceptionally good. We always have a fine range of starters and, perhaps because it is literally still sizzling on the plate as we serve ourselves, the taste is amazing and so obviously freshly cooked - as with any of the main meals we have had. Even the butter/ghee on the naan is still glistening and moist it's so freshly done.

Just before serving desi veg biryani, turn upside down on a serving plate, garnish with fried onions, cashew nuts and raisins and serve hot. Traditionally, biryani is used making the dum pukht method which is method of cooking in steam and not letting the steam to pass. The earthen clay pots with biryani assembled are sealed tight with whole wheat flour dough, which doesn't allow the steam to pass. All the ingredients are cooked in its own steam and juices. How to proceed• Combine the rice, toovar dal and salt in a bowl and mix well. Divide into it 2 equal portions and keep aside.
