Absolutely Addicitve Kale Moti Biryani – Lunch That’s Complete,Please Note: The words “Kale Moti” refer to the small grains of black urad dal. ‘Kale’ here is a Hindi(Indian) word for black colour which happens to be the colour the lentils used in this recipe. ‘Moti’ means pearls…what this means here is that this rice dish is a treat of black lentils and is as delicious as pearls are beautiful. ‘Kale’ here does not refer to any kind of cabbage. Have a spoon of this and you’ll want to come and hug me, kiss me, probably even marry me for sharing this:) I got this recipe from the ‘Thursday’ magazine (contributed by Manisha Nanda, and she got 50 US dollars as prize money for this!), but, slightly tweaked it, to make it on the spicy side. It’s not too spicy, its just great! The original recipe is on a sweeter side(more yogurt and some milk as well). I am absolutely head over heels crazy about this biryani. It’s vegetarian, a complete meal in itself, finger food(Oh yes – you must eat it with your fingers to relish every grain of this dish that is absolutely priceless, its so tasty that I’d personally keep giving it stars till I dropped dead:) Not a bad idea to take a plate of this to your Girlfriend if she loves rice and is cross with you, she’ll jump up and marry you, oh yeah, I bet she will 🙂 TRY IT! 🙂 This is one dish I really really love, inspite of the butter and rice(both which make a man fat), this one’s just perfect to have once in a while, when your just sitting on that bubble of “I reached my goal” or even if you need something to inspire you to do something, try this dish. Not only will you see sweet dreams the night you make it, oh, you will be filled with a magical charisma! If I could, I would love to donate plates filled with this to every poor man, woman and child alive on the planet. I really really love this dish with my mind, body and soul 🙂 Have it for your Diwali lunch/dinner party(With just 4 days to go before the festival day, you know what’s going to be cooking at my end!), your birthday party(Attn: Troy- I’m thinking Nov 1st and of you- Happy Birthday a day in advance!), your New year party(Just 60 days left for 2002 to end!), your wedding anniversary, any time when you want to have a treat, and enjoy the food of a king, go for this! I’m dedicating this recipe to Troy Hakala as I know from his ‘About Me’ page that he loves Indian food, and, secondly, its his birthday on Nov 1st !,Delicious! Thank you so much for this recipe! The flavours are so delicate. It is absolutely perfect with a generous serving of yogurt. I was looking for something different to do with urad dal, and i am so glad i tried this. I halved the recipe (there’s only 2 of us), which seemed to work fine. We have leftovers even though my husband had about 3 servings! The only thing I had to substitute was red chillies instead of green. This was my first time attempting biryani, and although the instructions looked daunting it was actually quite easy, and not overly time consuming. Thank you for giving me my first biryani recipe, made much easier by your clear instructions!,Dear Mary Lou, I believe kale refers to a variety of cabbage. Kale Moti refers to whole urad dal which is not skinned which is a kind of lentil and used in Indian food.
