This is a yummy South Indian Biryani which is taken along with raitha. One of my favourite rice which can be done easily. This is one of the dish I often prepare for the potluck as it easy and made quickly. Hope you enjoy the dish. Here you go…

Ingredients:

  • Basmati rice – 2 cups
  • Chopped onions – 2 cups
  • Tomatoes – 1
  • Vegetables – 1 1/2 cup (carrot, beans, peas)
  • Green chilly – 2 (slit)
  • Coriander leaves – 2 to 3 tbsp
  • Ginger garlic paste – 1 tbsp
  • Red chilly powder – 1 1/2 tsp
  • Cinnamon – 1″
  • Cardamom – 2
  • Cloves – 2
  • Bay leaves – 2
  • Fennel seeds – 1 tsp
  • Oil – 1 tbsp
  • Ghee – 2 tbsp
  • Salt to taste

Method of Preparation:

  1. Cut the vegetables at 1″ in length
  2. Heat oil in a pan, add the onions and fry till they become soft and golden brown colour
  3. Add the ginger garlic paste and toss till the raw smell goes off
  4. Add the tomatoes and green chillies and fry till the tomatoes get mashed and then add the red chilly powder and combine them
  5. Now add the chopped vegetables and combine them. Reduce the heat and keep tossing
  6. In between soak basmati rice for 3 to 4 minutes
  7. Grind cinnamon, cardamom, cloves into powder
  8. Heat ghee in a pan and add the ground powder to it and allow it to splutter and then add fennel seeds and bay leaves
  9. Drain the water and add rice to it. Mix them well
  10. Add the vegetable gravy to rice and combine them well
  11. Remove from heat and put them in an electric cooker or pressure cooker
  12. If you use a pressure cooker, cook the rice for one whistle and then turn off the stove
  13. If you use rice cooker, once it is cooked (the light turned to warm) transfer the contents to a hot pack or any bowl to avoid the rice becoming brown at the bottom

:) Serve hot with Raitha.
