  • 1 tomato, chopped
  • 2 green chilies, slit
• Herbs & Dairy:
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 cup yogurt, whisked
• Spices & Aromatics:
  • Whole spices: 2 bay leaves, 4 cloves, 4 green cardamom pods, 1-inch cinnamon stick
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
  • A pinch of saffron strands soaked in 2 tablespoons warm milk
• The Star Ingredient:
  • 2 tablespoons Vanras Biryani Masala
• Other:
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil or ghee

Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create a mouthwatering biryani:

• Prepare the Rice:
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt along with a couple of whole spices (such as bay leaves and cardamom pods).
  • Add the soaked basmati rice and cook until it’s about 70-80% done.
  • Drain the rice and set it aside.
• Sauté the Spices and Tomato:
  • In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the oil or ghee over medium heat.
  • Add the whole spices (bay leaves, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon) and let them sizzle to release their aroma.
  • Toss in the chopped tomato and slit green chilies. Cook until the tomato softens and turns pulpy.
• Build the Flavor Base:
  • Sprinkle the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and Vanras Biryani Masala over the tomato mixture.
  • Stir the spices well, allowing them to meld with the tomato and release their full flavor.
• Cook the Vegetables:
  • Add the mixed vegetables to the pan. Stir thoroughly to coat the vegetables with the spiced tomato blend.
  • Pour in the whisked yogurt and gently fold in the chopped mint and cilantro.
  • Let the vegetables simmer for about 5-7 minutes on medium heat until they are tender but still retain a slight crunch. Adjust salt to taste.
• Layering for Dum Cooking:
  • In a large, heavy pot, start by spreading half of the cooked vegetable mixture evenly on the bottom.
  • Layer half of the partially cooked rice over the vegetables.
  • Repeat this with another layer of the vegetable mix, and finish with the remaining rice on top.
  • Drizzle the saffron-infused milk over the final rice layer.
• Dum (Steam) Cooking:
  • Seal the pot tightly with a lid or use dough to secure the edges. This trapping of steam is essential for the dum cooking process.
  • Cook on a very low flame for 10-15 minutes, allowing all the layers to merge and the flavors to intensify.
• Finish and Serve:
  • Once done, gently fluff the biryani with a fork, taking care not to break the delicate rice grains.
  • Garnish with extra fresh mint and cilantro.
  • Serve hot with a side of cooling raita or a crisp salad for a complete, restaurant-style experience.
