The sight and mention of Biryani is enough to water the mouth !!!!!!!! It is not very quick and easy but with repetition it becomes easier, quicker and more delicious.There are many ways of making Biryani using the same ingredients.The most important ingredient is love and passion for cooking that makes every dish exotic and delicious.This is what I mix very carefully.....................
.
1/2 kg rice
1/2 kg mutton
2big onion
4 tomatoes
1/2 cup curd
2tbs lime juice
1tsp ginger masala
1-1/2tsp garlic masala
1/2 cup Dhaniya patta [coriander leaves]
Few leaves mint
2 bay leaves
1-1/2tsp cumin seed
5cloves
2Cinnamon
3 cardamom
1-1/2tsp red chilli powder
2tsp coriander powder
1tsp turmeric powder
Salt
4/5tbs oil
Method:
Wash mutton and marinate it in ginger garlic, salt, turmeric, red chilli powder and coriander powder and keep it aside for 15 minutes for marination. Take 5 tbs of oil in a pan, add chopped onions and stir fry till golden brown. Add bay leaves, cardamom, cinnamon, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, chilli powder and coriander powder. Add the mutton that has been marinated, and keep stirring. Then add the chopped tomatoes and keep stirring the ingredients. Then add a little water, curd, lime juice and let it cook for 1/2 an hour till the meat is tender and the gravy is thick. You can alternately cook it in the pressure cooker for 5 minutes.
In parallel, basmati rice should be soaked for half an hour and then cooked in boiling water. When half done, strain the remaining water. In a large pan, heat 2tbsp of oil, and then spread 1/2 of the half-cooked rice. Now add a layer of the mutton gravy and then add the remaining half of the rice. Cover the layered rice with a lid and cook for 5/7 minutes on low heat till you start to see vapours rise from the food.
Serve it with dahi raita. And a lot of love!
