The humility of our mother and the respect she shows to her cuisine is humbling. She cooks from the heart, one can both see and hear the authenticity of old school cooking in her action and voice. To those reading this remember that our cooking methods are slowly ebbing away, mother is one of the last of the mohicans, we should wean enough knowledge and impart this to our younger generation, we cannot let such classic cooking methods die down and get sucked up in a distant memory. Ma...as usual my utter admiration and blessings to u..

#GaithreeDeviLuckan I've been watching your videos here in NZ and been loving them. Of late I've been missing Durban style Indian food and your recipes have made me want to cook my own curries etc. Watching one of your videos I see you grew up in Sezela, I went to primary school there and grew up in Pennington. Our bus driver then (1990-1992?) was an Indian guy named Ram, what a character!

Aunty you are such a talented cook. I wanted to ask you if you ever use butter or ghee in your breyani. My mum uses butter or ghee to fry her onions and too braze the curry .....with a mix of oil too. So with breyani.....we always do a mix of dhania mint onion and tomatoes....in food processor ....thats the base of all breyani. Maybe Tamil people have a different style of cooking. We don't use peas at all. Thank you for showing a different style of making breyani. Looks delicious

We do add in butter or margarine from the top, especially for veg Biryani. That base mixture sounds interesting. When do you add? While still braising?

When cooking the rice we add hurdee (tumeric) - this gives the milder yellow colour. After the rice cooked we added egg yellow food colouring that gives the brighter orange, almost red colour to some of the grains.
