I cook biriyani rice in a simple way in a Rice cooker
I boil water, (one and a half cup for one cup of rice)
When the water boils, I put some salt, kumkumappoo or manjalppoti, and a long leaf (I don't know it's name yet)
and add the washed rice and cook.
You will get a fat free biriyani rice (without ghee)
