    Hello Hrastro,

    Nice Thread. By reading your thread i can just say you are 'Great'.
    I always bring the readymade powder or else i get it from my mother. But now reading your thread i think atleast i can start with smaller batch of different powders.

    @ hrastro : Loved your idea of making a grand biryani out of the things in your kitchen. (Pizza sauce for biryani !!! You are very innovative )

    I use the pizza sauce as a base for all north indian gravies. Mutter paneer, Paneer butter masala and veg korma tastes wonderful with that. I usually buy the chunky tomato flavor and the color also looks like the ones in restaurant.
    Very informative thread!

    Where would we be, if moms and MILs dont give the authentic podis :)

    Even though I am expert in all the podis I make, my dad's sambhar podi and my mom's rasam podi are the ones I prefer - even if I use the same recipe, I never feel it is equal to theirs - so whenever they are here or I visit, I get them to make it fresh for me :)

    I made the biriyani using my homemade pizza sauce - so I knew exactly what I had added into it :)

    Aah you reminded me of the color - I had forgotten to add in the recipe - Add a small cube (1 inch cube) of beetroot to the tomatoes when you add to the cooker - and you'll be surprised with the color bursts of your homemade pizza/pasta sauce - here is the post for pizza/pasta sauce
