Lots of Cricket and Biryani Experimentation

Lots of good cricket going on.  Australia/England 2nd ODI, South Africa/India 4th ODI, and New Zealand/Pakistan 1st ODI on Saturday.  Woo hoo!  I'm going to be very
busy indeed.  Not only that, I'm counting down the days to the World Cup.  The way Pakistan has been playing lately, I've got very high hopes for them!  Go Pakistan!  Go Gulzilla!

So before the matches start today,  I've got to get out to the garden and do some work there.  This post will be a short one.

Today's my day for culinary experimentation.    I'm going to make biryani with a mint chutney for din-dins.   I've made it with recipes from the interwebs a few times before, but it always turned out to be not so good.  For some reason, every website i've looked at recommends adding several ground black cardamom pods to the masala.  I find this a bit strange because that spice adds bitterness to counteract any oversweetening from onions.   Too much is overpowering, and none is needed if you're only using one onion!    So today I'm going to follow my instincts and see what happens.  I'll keep track of everything I put in, and if it turns out properly, I'll publish the recipe tomorrow.  Wish me luck!

Happy cooking, Happy Biryani!
