Quick & Easy :~ Plain Briyani Rice In Rice Cooker


Glad to see you all again in the month of April 2014! It's always a pleasure to return to my cyberbaby…my blog.

Some emailed me requesting for new recipes, some emailed me not to shut down my blog as the recipes I've posted are still helpful to them. No worries my friends…this blog will remain active for all of you unless plagiarism goes bad. If that goes beyond my control, I will open this blog for invited readers. Till then, you're most welcome in here :)

I'm here today to share a simple and quick Briyani rice recipe. Let's see…

    1. Yes Veena, pandan leaf is very famous in Malaysia...especially for our Nasi lemak. You can still use bay leaves to sub.

  9. Hai, Remember me, commented on yr mutton dish some time back. This is off track but I would like to thank you for sharing yr "sure jadi" recipes. My dad (the main person in my life) left us two weeks ago and as you know we cook veg dishes for padayal. I browsed yr site and tried some dishes and everyone loved it. My two kid (7 and 11) did your eggless choc cake and it was a hit. No left over. Thank you again for sharing. Its helps a lot. I'm a lousy cook. Did you try the seafood rest in Kg. Subang?

    1. Hello dear! How have you been??? How could I forget you :) Sorry about your dad, my deepest condolences. Thank you so much for your encouraging words as usual, I must say it's a real boost for me to hear from you again. Please thank your kids on my behalf for trying out the cake. I haven't try that restaurant as yet. Btw, are you on fb? If yes, add me ya. My id is just on the right side bar of my blog. Take care and keep in touch...hugs! :)
