Ultimate Biriani Recipe

1.Wash basmati rice under running water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 30 minutes, then drain and set aside.

2.In a large bowl, marinate the meat with yogurt, biriani spice mix, turmeric powder, and salt. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

3.In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat ghee over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and sliced onions. Saute until the onions turn golden brown.

4.Add the marinated meat to the pot and cook until it's browned on all sides.

5.Stir in chopped tomatoes and ginger-garlic paste. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and the mixture is fragrant.

6.Layer the soaked rice over the meat mixture in the pot. Top with fried onions, raisins, and cashew nuts.

7.Pour water over the rice ensuring it's fully submerged. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

8.Once done, fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot and enjoy your aromatic biriani!
