o Ingredients
- 2 cups of Basmati rice
- 1/4th cup of curd
- 3 cups of water
- 2 tablespoons of ghee
- Salt as required
- Fried onions
Vegetables required:
- 1 cup of onion (sliced)
- 1.5 tablespoons of ginger-garlic paste
- 2 cups of Beans
- 1 cauliflower whole
- 1 cup of potato
- Other vegetables of your choice
Whole spices required:
- 4 green cardamoms or elaichi
- 4 cloves or lavang
- 1 inch Cinnamon
- 1 bay leaf
Powdered spices required:
- ½ teaspoon chilli powder
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Vasant Biryani masala
o Method:
- Firstly, wash the basmati rice well and soak it for 30 minutes.
- Now, pour ghee in a pan and sauté all the whole spices for a minute.
- Once an aromatic smell is released from these spices, add sliced onions to the pan and cook till they are brown.
- Further, add ginger-garlic paste and stir well. The raw smell of ginger-garlic paste should go before you proceed for further steps. This will ensure that the biryani masala you add in the later stages gives maximum flavour to your biryani.
- After the raw smell goes off, add all the vegetables you want to add in your Biryani and cook well. Toss the vegetables once before proceeding for the next step.
- In this step, add curd, chilli powder, turmeric powder, and Biryani masala. Mix everything well and let it simmer.
Powdered spices required:
- Take a good pot for layering.
- Start with layering the vegetable gravy at the bottom of the pot.
- Now, add the soaked rice over it.
- Add the vegetable gravy again followed by soaked rice.
- Repeat it.
- Further, add water to the pot.
- Season the Biryani with some salt and fried onions.
- Now, cover the pot and cook it on a medium flame till the rice is cooked.
- Serve hot.
