    Biryani

     

     
    Ingredients   instructions

    1 kg Mutton/chicken
    1 kg Basmati rice
    100 grm Yogurt
    Salt to taste
    1 medium onion
    6
    garlic clove
    1 tbs
    ginger paste
    8
    small illaichi
    1 tbs gralic paste
    10
    cloves
    Oil or ghee
    Kewra few drops
    Yellow food color two pinch
    Sugar a pinch
     
    Add mutton, salt and garlic cloves in a pot with two glasses of water. If you're using chicken, you can do with only one glass of water.
    Cook on a low flame till the meat is tender and the water dries.

    Take one medium onion. Slice it and fry it in about 4-5 tablespoons of oil till its light brown. Add the rest of the spices, yogurt and fry it a little.

    Simultaneously soak the rice in water for half an hour.
    Boil the rice till they're half cooked,
    drain the water and keep them aside.

    Add the cooked meat to the sauted onions to make the masala and cook uncovered for a few minutes to evaporate excess water.
    When most of the water has evaporated,
    transfer a little rice to a pot, and on top of that add some of the meat/masala combo. Make layers of this. The way I usually do it is put half the rice in, add all the meat/masala then top that off with the rest of the rice.

    Sprinkle on it a solution of kewra, yellow food color and pinch of suger.

    Keep it covered and on a low flame.
    Keep the pot tightly closed - you're trying to steam cook the rice. When the rice is done, the biryani is ready.
    Serve with salad or garlic chutney.

    a regular pot if you dont have a Wok.

    When that is done add 3 glasses of water, cover and leave to tenderize.
    If you're using chicken you dont have to add water and can move on the the next step.
    When the meat has softened add everything, including the oil, except green chilies & tomatos.
    Increase the heat to dry water if any then add green chilis & tomatoes.
    Lower the heat and cook covered for
    5-10 minutes. Then when the tomatos
    have softened, increase the heat and
    evaporate all the water. The end result
    should be with very little gravy.
