  37. keep it in dum for atleast 35-40 minutes. First 3-4 minutes put it in dum at high flame.After that make the heat low.
  38. Then serve it hot and garnish it with leftover brown onion and butter.


    My Tip: 

    • Here I have cooked the rice in rice cooker(absorption method), you can cook rice in any vessels by draining method.
    • Here I have used aluminium foil to seal but any rooti dough can also be used to seal.
    •  I usually blanch the cauliflower and drain the water to make it bacteria and insect free. But don't over blanch the cauliflower.
    • Brown Onion should be fried at low heat which will help to get crispy. Don't add salt to this onion when you are frying.
    • Here I have served with some extra butter as I love it very much. But if you don't want you can avoid it.

    Its the time to soak dry fruit in alcohol(dark Rum/ whisky/ Brandy/ red wine). Traditionally, dry fruit should be soaked 3 months before the Christmas. But at least 1 month soak is very necessary to make dry fruit juicy. In classic Christmas cake, juicy dry fruits are the main ingredients. Here you can use any dry fruits whatever you get. Other ingredients like flour is just used to bind dry fruits and nuts. My Christmas celebration can't be complete without traditional Christmas cake. We will bake the cake in next month at least a week before from Christmas. After baking, the last step is feeding the cake. It is very important to allow the cake to be matured by feeding with alcohol. After baking some tiny wholes will be made with a skewer to feed the cake. Brush the cake with alcohol twice in a week after baking. Here I am using Rum to soak the fruit and will do the feeding after baking the cake with Rum. If you don't want to use alcohol, instead of this you can use ora...
