how to make biranyi food

 Ingredients:

biranyi

1 cup basmati rice

1 lb chicken or lamb, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 onions, sliced

2 tomatoes, chopped

2 tbsp ginger garlic paste

2 tbsp biryani masala

1 tsp turmeric powder

1 tsp cumin seeds

1 tsp coriander powder

1 tsp red chili powder

1/2 cup yogurt

1/4 cup mint leaves, chopped

1/4 cup cilantro leaves, chopped

Salt to taste

Oil for cooking

Instructions:

Wash the rice and soak it in water for 30 minutes. Drain the water and set aside.

Heat oil in a large pot and add cumin seeds. Once the seeds start to splutter, add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown.

Add ginger garlic paste and sauté for a minute until the raw smell goes away.

Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and mushy.

Add biryani masala, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder. Mix well and cook for a few minutes.

Add chicken or lamb pieces and cook until they are browned on all sides.

Add yogurt and mix well. Cook for 5 minutes.

Add chopped mint and cilantro leaves and salt to taste. Mix well.

In a separate pot, bring water to boil and add the soaked rice. Cook for 5 minutes or until the rice is half cooked.

Drain the water from the rice and add it to the pot with the chicken or lamb mixture. Gently mix everything together.

Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and cook on low heat for 20-25 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked.

Once the biryani is done, remove it from heat and let it sit for 10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot with raita or salad.

Enjoy your homemade biryani!
