Malhar Traditional Biryani Masala Mix: 1 packet / 50g, mix in ¼ cup water
Steps For Cooking
Heat oil and fry onions until they turn golden brown. Add meat along with Malhar Traditional Biryani Masala Mix and sauté for about 5 minutes. Add yoghurt and water (3 cups for beef/lamb, 1 cup for chicken). Cover and cook on low flame until the meat becomes tender.
Add chopped tomatoes and cook on high heat, stirring continuously, until the oil separates from the gravy. Set this meat curry aside.
In a separate pot, bring 15 cups (3 liters) of water to a boil. Add 3 tablespoons of salt and the soaked rice. Cook the rice until it is about 75% done. Drain thoroughly.
In a large pot, spread half of the cooked rice as a bottom layer. Pour the prepared meat curry over it, then top with the remaining rice. (You may sprinkle a pinch of yellow food color if desired.) Garnish with freshly chopped coriander and mint leaves. Cover and steam on low heat for 5-10 minutes until the rice is fully cooked. Mix gently before serving.
