Ukkarai or ukkali is a traditional sweet done with lentils. Some of them have different versions. I have done with chana dal, some do with moong dal, and a combination of rice and dal. If rice is soaked and added the ukkali will not be that soft. A spicy version with toordal and rice is here.
Vegetable dum briyani is slightly a dry version than normal vegetable briyani. I always do the latter, so for a change wanted to try dum briyani. I did the stove top method, you could try in oven too. Everyone has their own versions. This one does not have too many masalas. A mild version, if you want it to be strong add briyani masala, which has more flavor.
I took a long break.............. from blogging. Kids had vacation and some personal work was behind me. Back here......planning to continue without a break :) . Hope it works. Half of the summer has gone, but I hardly didn't have time to post it. Do try this and enjoy each sip!!!!
