Thanks Radhika for participating in IDFP with this traditional recipe from Hyderabad.
I lived in Hyderabad for about 3 years and developed quite an attachment to capitol city of ours. It was a completely different world foodwise for me and quite a learning experience.

I stayed Hyderabad for 3 & half months and I am very fund of eating Biryani. I never thought that i'll eat Biryani outside after coming back to my home country Nepal coz I wanted actual Hyderabadi taste which i wont get here. But after following your receipe I am shocked I felt Hyderabad by smell by taste. Absolutely Gorgeous !!! my family also loved it and i cooked for the guests tooo, they all loved it.

Hi Radhika,
I was so delighted to find a recipe for Khubani Ka meetha, it's my absolute favorite and I miss it so much here in US. I tried making it here, but the dried apricots we get in walmart or sam's do not have any seeds, i wonder if you are talking about the same stuff I used, could you tell me specifically which type of apricots you used. Thanks in advance,
Priya.
hi,
i was reading ur recipe for khubani ka meetha.. i have one question.. what kind of apricots did u use? i have found orange looking dried apricots in packets at grocery stores.. im not sure if those are the ones to use.. pls do let me know. thanks.
hi sr,
i used the dry apricots which is brown clr, but u can also prepare them with the orange one's.
Hello there,
I am from Singapore and i was exited with your recipe. the only one thing i couldnt figure out is what is DUM on which this pot of briyani shuld continued to be cooked. It will be nice if you could post me a picture of this DUM. thanks my email address is linda_jr_cotha@hotmail.com
This recipe is incredible. Thanks! I was worried at first that the meat wouldn't turn tender after the short initial cooking, but cooking so long on the low flame "Dum" style made the meat so tender it melted in my mouth.
Tonight I'm trying the apricot dessert too.
please place the pictures of the ingredients being used for both the dishes....if [possible....ur interest towards sharing is very appreciable...
