Biryani recipe by Habib Akhtar at DesiRecipes.com.
Biryani is a set of rice-based foods made with spices, rice (usually basmati) and meat, fish or chicken.


Keywords: biriani, biryani

Ingredients
1 kg Mutton/chickenClick to find more about chicken
1 kg Basmati rice
100 grm Yogurt
SaltClick to find more about Salt to taste
1 medium onionClick to find more about onion
6 garlicClick to find more about garlic cloveClick to find more about clove

8 small illaichiClick to find more about illaichi

1 tbs gralic paste
10 cloves
Oil or gheeClick to find more about ghee
Kewra few drops
Yellow food color two pinch
Sugar a pinch


Preparation
Add mutton, saltClick to find more about salt and garlicClick to find more about garlic cloves in a pot with two glasses of water. If you're using chickenClick to find more about 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 onionClick to find more about 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 garlicClick to find more about garlic chutney.

Recipe is great, I am going to try it. But there is an error in the servicing 3-4. One Kilo rice will feed many more people, perhaps 10 or more. Ignore the stupid comments of some unworthy people, or unworthy comments of stupid people. They have nothing else but hate in their hearts.
