Believe it or not!!! yes its instant biryani… No need to go for instant ready-to-eat recipes. Just in 3 steps the biryani is ready. We already knew about chicken, mutton, fish, prawns and oh yeah some vegetable biryanis.

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Cooking time : 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 Cup Basmathi Rice

1 Onion

1 Green chilli

1 tomato

2-3 tbsp Oil

Coriander Leaves ( to garnish)

To grind

4 Garlic cloves

1/2 inch of ginger piece

4-5 Red Chillies

1tsp Coriander seeds/Dhaniya

½ tsp Fennel Seeds/Sombhu

1 Clove

1 Cinnamon

1 Cardamom

1-2 tbsp of grated coconut

To Temper

1 Cinnamon

1 Bayleaf

How I made It

• Dry roast all the items under ‘to grind’ table except coconut and make it as a smooth paste along with coconut in a mixie. Keep aside
• Soak rice in 1 ½ cups of water for 10 mins (not more than that)
• In a kadai heat oil and add the items under ‘to temper’
• Once it splutters add straight-wise chopped onions. Slit the green chilly and add to it. Fry till onions cook soft.
• Now add the ground smooth paste and fry till the raw smell goes off

• Then add tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes goes gooey.
• Now add the soaked rice without water (retain the water)

• Quick fry the rice and add the retained water. Check for salt at this time. Cook for 5 mins in high flame and for 10 mins in low flame. Serve hot with Raitha.

PS:

For cooking in a pressure cooker follow the same procedure. Keep for 1 whistle then simmer the flame, cook for 5mins and serve.
