Nasi Beriani Gam Johor


   Hi today I am present you my family all time favorites Johorean exotic Nasi Beriani Gam. The origin of Nasi Beriani (Beriani Rice) was originated from the Middle East. It was made famous by Muslim traders travelling from Peninsular Arab through India, Pakistan, Nusantara (South East Asia). There are many variance and names given to Nasi Beriani. The Johorean Nasi Beriani Gam is another excellence variant of all time. Did you know the word "gam" was derived from the way the rice was cooked. Gam means glue in English. The rice together with its herbs ingredient was ¾ cooked in boiling water, than remaining water are drained. The other ¼ part of the cooking method employ the use of pressure steam.
