METHOD FOR BOILED RICE:
• Take a large pan and add water. Bring it to a boil.
• Add the cinnamon stick, star anise, green cardamom pods, black peppercorns, cloves, bay leaves, lemon juice, salt, and oil. Close the lid and let it cook for a while.
• Once it starts boiling, add the soaked basmati rice. Let it cook slowly.
• When the rice is almost done, add milk on top of the rice.
• When the rice is 60% cooked, use a strainer to drain the rice and set it aside.
FOR VEGETABLE MIXTURE:
• In a bowl, combine the French beans, potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, green peas, curd, garlic paste, green chili paste, ginger paste, fried onions, salt, red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, and biryani masala. Mix everything well.
• Let it marinate for a while.
• To add a smoky flavour, heat a piece of charcoal until red hot. Place it in a small bowl or foil, add ghee, and place it in the middle of the marinated vegetables. Close the lid tightly.
• Allow it to infuse the smoky flavour for a few minutes, then remove the charcoal.
FOR BIRYANI:
• In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat the ghee and oil.
• Add the marinated vegetable mixture and mix well.
• Cook the mixture on low flame until the oil starts to release from the sides.
• On top of the cooked vegetables, layer the boiled rice.
• Sprinkle the chopped coriander, mint leaves, milk and saffron mixture, fried cashews, fried onions, and fried garlic on top of the rice. Make gaps in between so that the Flavors can mix well while cooking on dum.
• Seal the pot with dough around the edges to prevent steam from escaping.
• Cook on a low flame for 15 minutes.
• When you start to smell the dough from the steam, the biryani is properly cooked. Turn off the flame.
• Serve the biryani in a serving bowl and garnish with fried onions and ghee.
• Enjoy your delicious Veg Biryani!
