Hi there, I bought one MR OTG24L today from B'lore after lotsa research on net, and I cant agree with you more that there's hardly any info. Nevertheless I decided to rule over a M.Oven, mainly due to negative feedback of its grilling efficiency - which is what I wanted - those pomfrets and lamb. Well, after reading your opinion now I'm a tad disappointed. But well, lemme try, if this small cute box does it the same American way :)

Cheers... and trust me, I will come back with my experience :P

Simple food in Hyderabad is as good as its pulaos. Like chigoor ka salan, ambadi ki bhaji, both with seena ka ghost. And the famous pappu chawal that only household ayahs can make to perfection. Special sweets like andao ka mitha and badam ki jalli seems only prepared there and nowhere else. Mango custard with floating light as air malai merengues as only Hyderabadi nobility can make. And so many other delicacies, with secret recipes, that aren't served any more once their originators pass away. Pity! That's our heritage too, not just monuments, etc.

Nevermind biryani. Have you ever tried lasooni kheer? That's a royal Rajasthani dish worth trying - tastes like almonds if made right.

Raan and seena ka ghosht are always used in original pulaos (not dry chops and other cuts). Chicken is never used in original pulaos (only in yakhni). Don't know what `Biryani' really is.
