Hyderabadi Dum Biriyani with Mirchi ke Salan

Hello,

Today I tried hyderabadi biryani and mirchi ke salan. My all time favorite. The recipe is very simple but require preparation time. 





Hyderabadi Dum Biryani

Basmathi rice - 1 cup
turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
salt as required
potato - 2
onion- a few small onion(a handful)
tomato - 1
ginger - 1 tbsp
green chilly - 2
peas - 1/2 cup frozen/fresh

For grinding

elachi - 3
cinnamon - 1 small stick
bay laves - 2
star anise - 1
saunf - 1 tsp
jeera powder - 1 tsp
coconut - 2 y
coriander powder - 1 tsp
clove - 2
pudina leaves - a few
coriander leaves - 1 tsp

curd - 1/2 cup
saffron a few strands 

Method of Preparation

Wash and drain water from basmati rice, keep aside for 20 minutes. In a large vessel/pressure pan add water, rice, turmeric powder, salt and bay leaves and cook the rice. You can see the rice will bend and becomes soft. Off the stove drain the excess water. Keep aside.

In a small pan fry clove, elachi, star anise, saunf, cinnamon stick. Allow the aroma to release. In another pan saute chopped onion, ginger, garlic, green chilly and tomato in a little oil. In a mixer add all roasted whole spices, onion,ginger,green chilly, garlic, tomato, jeera powder, coriander powder, pudina, coriander leaves and coconut. Make a coarse paste. 

Pour a little ghee and saute chopped potatoes and carrots. Keep aside.

Whisk 1/2 cup of curd. Keep saffron strands ready.

If you are using fresh peas cook it in water before adding to biryani, I have used frozen which can be directly added for cooking. 

In a microwavable bowl start layering the prepared basmati rice, a table spoon of curd,ground masala and vegetables. Keep layering till rice, curd, saffron, masala and vegetables are over. Cook in the oven for about 10 -15 minutes. Adjust salt.  Mix well before serving so that each grain of rice will have the delicious aroma of the freshly ground spices.
