Basmati is said to be the best rice for cooking biryani. Avoid using rice that has stickiness. Just soak them in water for 30 minutes before cooking. Add some spices for aroma and fragrance like cloves and cardamom while boiling the rice. Alongside make meat curry. It is prepared by marinating meat in garam masala, garlic, ginger, chilli peppers, and coriander leaves. Once all the ingredients are ready, put desi ghee in a large pan, followed by rice and meat curry, and fry it for about five-six minutes. To add beautiful orange color to your biryani, you can add saffron-soaked milk to your rice.
Spread the rice and meat curry layer by layer so that the rice will absorb all the juicy flavours resulting in the best taste. Cook the whole thing until it's fully ready. Also, prepare the fried onion to garnish your biryani at the end to add the caramel flavor. Voila! It's ready. This can be best served with curd, lassi, or shorba.
