There is something alluring about heritage, traditions and culture. After i moved to the usa, some good, 8 or 9 years back, i started to appreciate the world i left behind, more. Things, like, maa's cooking, that i used to take for granted, became something to yearn for. Thats when, i gradually learned to re-create the dishes my maa used to make-recipes handed down to her from her mother-in-law or mom. There are a few out there. But i will share one here which was originally my maa's idea, but i modified it a little to suit the taste of my kids and my family here. Its called-the kashmiri dum aloo biryani. I'm sure, you will not find this recipe any where. This is unique and everyone must give it a try to know how good this can be.
