Trivia

[Trivia] When you eat Biryani and smell an 'incense-like, exotic floral aroma', it's definitely Kewra Water. Caution: adding too much makes the food taste like soap.

Eating tips & etiquette

[Unique Eating] Never 'overcook' it. Because it's highly volatile, adding it early destroys the scent. Always add it at the very end, right before steaming.
