Vegetable Ishtu
I happened to taste this recipe for the first time at Taj, Kumarkoam (Kerela). The stew was so good, a perfect match with appam and iddyappam. Later, when I migrated to U.S…where I was forced to cook my own dinner! I usually call my Mom or brother for recipe ideas…but today, I googled for this recipe and was thrilled to prepare the heart-warming recipe at home. To my surprise, it tasted the same way at home too:) Here you go, my take on Veg Stew…

hello
do you know where i can get biryani flower from in the uk? or what else it might be called? i cant seem to find it anywhere!
Hello Bint,
I have no idea…where to shop for the biriyani flower in U.K. Many think biriyani flower is star anise…but I am talking about something other than that…its called birinji flower, and its totally different from star anise. Will try to post some pictures in future. Thank you.
