Introduction
A fragrant and delicious Indian rice dish made with aromatic basmati rice, boiled eggs marinated in spices, and a rich, flavorful tomato-yogurt gravy. It is slow-cooked (dum) to let the flavors meld perfectly.
Step 1
Boil 2 liters of water in a large pot. Add 1 bay leaf, 1 tsp cumin seeds, 2 cloves, 2 cardamom pods, 1 cinnamon stick, 4 black peppers, 1 tsp oil, 1 tbsp salt, and a few drops of lemon juice.
Step 2
Add 300g of soaked basmati rice to the boiling water. Cook on medium flame for 5 to 7 minutes until the rice is 90% cooked. Drain the rice completely and set it aside.
Step 3
In a bowl with the boiled eggs, add a pinch of salt, turmeric powder, and red chilli powder. Mix well. Gently prick the eggs with a knife or fork to prevent them from bursting during frying.
Step 4
Heat 1/4 cup of oil in a pot. Add 3 medium sliced onions and fry until golden brown and crispy (birista). Remove 3/4 of the onions and set aside for garnishing, leaving the remaining 1/4 in the pot.
Step 5
In the same oil, add the marinated eggs. Fry on medium-high heat until they turn golden brown on all sides, then remove and set aside.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Pricking the eggs with a fork or knife is a crucial step to avoid them bursting in hot oil.
Keep the heat very low when adding powdered spices and yogurt to prevent them from burning or curdling.
Letting the biryani rest for 10 minutes after turning off the heat helps the rice grains firm up and absorb the flavors better.
