Biryaani (Spicy Pilaf)

Hello all,

First of all, happy valentine's day!

Secondly, I made biryaani tonight, from the Shan ready-made spice mix, so no recipe today. Sorry.

Lastly, for dessert I made custard. I have a few suggestions there though :) which work best with vanilla flavour:

• When you're cooking custard, add 1/2 a tsp of ground cardamom seeds. Gives an awesome background flavour.
• In 2 cups ready custard, add one cup of mixed fruits: apple, banana, guava, grapes.. whatever you have handy at the moment. Adds some nice texture.
  
• Decorate with chopped nuts and/or home-made jelly cut into cubes. Looks great and tastes yummy.

That's it for today. See you tomorrow!
