Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a non-stick pan add 2 tsp of oil add the potatoes, brown them and set aside.<\/p>\n

In the same pan brown the eggs and set aside.<\/p>\n

Steep saffron in lukewarm milk to extract the colour and flavour.<\/p>\n

Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan, add all the whole spices on a low flame. Add in the onion and saut\u00e9 till turns golden brown. Add in the ginger and garlic paste, continue to saut\u00e9 for 2-3 minutes. Add the slit green chillies. Now add all the spice powders and mix well. Add in the whisked curd and fry till the moisture in the curd evaporates and the oil oozes out.<\/p>\n

Add in the browned eggs and potatoes. Saut\u00e9 in the masala, ensuring that they do not break. Add in the milk and water. Add salt and mix. Simmer for 2 minutes.<\/p>\n

The gravy should not be too watery or too dry before you layer it with the rice.<\/p>\n

Spread half the rice over the prepared Egg and potato masala. Sprinkle less than half of the fried onions, chopped coriander leaves, sprinkle garam masala powder and Steeped saffron. Sprinkle rose water.<\/p>\n

Repeat the process. In the top add hot ghee.<\/p>\n

Cover it with an aluminium foil and then with a lid. Place this pan on a hot griddle. \u00a0Keep it on a very low flame for at least 20 to 25 minutes.<\/p>\n

Leave the biryani for at least 1 hour before you serve so the flavours are well combined in with the rice.<\/p>\n

Serve hot garnished with fried nuts and sliced golden brown onion.<\/p>\n

Goes best with raita.<\/p>\n

You may sprinkle lemon juice over the prepared biryani.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
