1 Ingredients
| Qty | Item |
|---|---|
| 2 cups | Aged Basmati Rice |
| 2 cups | Mixed Vegetables (Carrots, Peas, Beans, Potatoes) |
| 2 medium | Onions, thinly sliced |
| 0.5 cup | Plain Yogurt |
| 3 tbsp | Ghee or Vegetable Oil |
| 1 tbsp | Ginger-Garlic Paste |
| 1 set | Whole Spices (Cinnamon, Cardamom, Cloves, Bay Leaf) |
| 1 tbsp | Biryani Masala Powder |
| 0.5 cup | Fresh Mint and Cilantro |
| 2 tbsp | Warm Milk with Saffron strands |
2 Instructions
Rinse the basmati rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak for 30 minutes and drain.
In a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the ghee over medium heat and add the whole spices (cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and bay leaf) until they become fragrant.
Add the sliced onions and sauté until they turn a deep golden brown. Remove half of the onions and set aside for garnish.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for 1 minute before adding the mixed vegetables, biryani masala, and yogurt. Cook for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are half-cooked.
Spread the soaked rice in an even layer over the vegetable mixture. Do not stir.
Pour in 3.5 cups of water and the saffron-infused milk. Sprinkle half of the fresh mint and cilantro on top.
Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid or seal with foil. Reduce heat to low and cook for 18-20 minutes.
Turn off the heat and let the biryani rest, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff gently with a fork, garnish with the reserved fried onions and remaining herbs, and serve hot.
💡 Tips & Tricks
-
·
Always use aged basmati rice to ensure the grains remain separate and fluffy rather than sticky.
-
·
The 'dum' or steaming process is crucial; make sure the lid is airtight to trap the aromas.
-
·
For an extra layer of flavor, add a few drops of kewra water or rose water at the very end.
-
·
If using a pot that isn't heavy-bottomed, place it on a flat tawa (griddle) to distribute heat evenly and prevent burning.
