Divali 2011 in Triolet

Yes, this year I went for a stroll in my village. :)

Briyani

Eid Mubarak!

The Mauritian Briyani (Biryani), one of the most favourite dishes of Mauritian cuisine, like the Dholl Puri. Usually cooked in a Deg, it can also be prepared using a rice cooker, as the above the vegetable pulao. Served with salad, satini or pickles. Washed down with Pepsi/Coke or the traditional chilled Alouda. Typical Mauritian.
