Instructions
- Take two tea cups of long-grain and superior quality rice and soak them in water for 20 minutes. Drain the water and set it aside.
- Boil ½ a medium-sized peeled potato in water with 1 tablespoon salt and 1/4th tablespoon of turmeric powder until cooked completely. Drain, and once dry, fry the potatoes in ghee until crispy.
- Take a pressure cooker and add one teacup of water roughly 150 ml. We’ve included a pack of Biryani Seasoning and this should be added to the water. Stir till it dissolves.
- Now, add rice to the cooker along with the Biryani Mix and Biryani Meat. Combine them all. Pour an additional teacup or 150ml of water into the packet and empty it into the cooker. Simmer uncovered for 30-45 seconds.
- Close the cooker then let it cook for two whistles on medium-high heat. Once done, let it cool. When cooled, open the cooker and gently stir the rice and the meat. Serve hot!
