Cooking Method |
Step 1) Melt 2 tbsp Ghee/ Clarified Butter to enrich the taste .You can aslo use regular cooking oil.Add the whole spices cinnamon, cardamom, bay leaves, cloves and after a minute add 1 sliced onion(250g) , add required salt and saute until the onions are golden brown.
Step 2) Once the onions are nice and brown add 3 green chilies and 1 tbsp of Ginger garlic paste and saute until the raw smell is gone.
Then add the masalas turmeric powder ,garam masala powder, coriander powder, chili powder and mix once be careful do not burn the masalas
Step 3) Then add 1 tomato (150g) and cook until everything turns into a paste.we dont want any tomato chunks in our veg biryani
Step 4) Add the vegetable (i have taken carrots, beans, Cauliflower, Potatoes, Green Peas) you can add any vegetables you like. mix the veggies well with the tomato paste and then add curd / yogurt. If you dont like to add curd then add 2 tbsp of lemon juice to it
Step 5) Now add water (for 2 cups of basmati rice we need 3 cups of water) normally for cooking rice we add 1:2 ratio of rice:water, but since we have already soaked the basmati rice for 30 minutes 3 cups will be enough) .Add some coriander and some mint leaves
Step 6) Then add the Basmati / Biryani rice (2 cups of biryani rice which has been soaked for atleadt 30 minutes) mix once ,Check for salt and add required salt and cook for 1 whistle on a medium heat.after a whistle dont open the cooker immediately,let it stand for 15 more minutes
Step 7) Open and stir lightly (be careful do not break the rice).
