How it is made

  • Preparing the Rice:

  • 2. In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice, bay leaf, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt.
  • 3. Cook the rice until it's 70% done (it should still have a slight bite). Drain and set aside.
  • Sautéing the Vegetables
  • 1. In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
  • 2. Add the mixed vegetables, cauliflower, and potatoes. Sauté for a few minutes until they start to soften.
  • Layering the Biriyani:
  • 1. In a large pot, start by layering half of the partially cooked rice.
  • 2. Add a layer of the sautéed vegetables on top.
  • 3. Sprinkle with fresh mint and coriander leaves.
  • 4. Add the remaining rice as the final layer.
  • 5. Drizzle saffron milk over the top.
  • Dum Cooking:
  • 1. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and seal the edges with aluminum foil to trap steam.
  • 2. Cook on low heat for 30-40 minutes until the rice is fully cooked and the flavors meld together.
