PREPARATION

STEP 1

Rinse and soak the basmati rice in 1 1/2 cup water for 30 minutes.

STEP 2

Take a cooker. Heat the ghee. Once heated, add spices, green chillies, ginger garlic paste, and  chopped onions. Add a pinch of salt so that onions turn pink quickly. 

STEP 3

Add all the chopped vegetables and salt. Mix them well and cook on medium flame for about 3 minutes . Add turmeric powder, chilli powder, biryani masala. Simmer the flame and add curd. 

(CAUTION -If you dont simmer while adding curd then it will break). Blend in the curd with the vegetables and cook for 1 minute.

STEP 4

Now drain the water from basmati rice and add rice to the cooker. Add mint leaves and curry leaves. Add 2 cups of water and mix everything just once. Close the pressure cooker lid and cook until you get 3 whistles.

(CAUTION - My cooker takes 3 whistles to cook rice. You have to cook according to your pressure cooker)

STEP 5

Let the cooker cool for 10 min. Open the lid and serve the biryani hot.

STEP 6

You can make raitha or else any gravy goes with the biryani.
