PUDINA BIRIYANI

One of my favorite food is biriyani. I love to eat any biriyani like hydrabed dhum biriyani, Kosta prawns biriyani, vegetable biriyani anything.
I ate this dish two years back but i don't know method .Finally yesterday I tried this pudina biriyani..... Wow Its yummy .... Great. It is a one-pot rice dish, just like a vegetable biriyani, only small changes is there.

• Separate pudina leaves from the stem and wash properly then cook 2 mints in microwave. and make it smooth paste along with 1 tsp of water.
• In a pressure cooker heat oil along with ghee and fry Cardamoms and remaing cloves until aromatic (this cordamoms and cloves gives good flavors to biriyani).Then add peas,chopped chilly, carrot and beetroot stir for 2 mints, at this stage add chilly powder, daniya powder, masala powder and ginger& garlic past. Let them cook for 5 mints.

• Add rice and salt to this and fry 2 more mints. Finally mix the water and let it cook covered with lid. After first Wiesel reduce heat to low and let it cook 10 mints.

Tips:

I prefer to cook biriyani in pressure cooker, if you feel comfort make in oven for better taste. Better not to use tomato in this.

There is no pudina, no taste. There is no beetroot, no colour. There is no cloves no flavor.
