The people from Andhra Pradesh (India) do know how to eat well. I can see smiles all around me at this statement ;-). Well got to give you guyz that. Spicy, delicious, in short utterly drool worthy. And among them is this Main course rice dish - Hyderabad Biryani. It is traditionally prepared during festivities using meat ( mostly goat) and rich ingredients. I have made Vegetarian version of the same.The preparation involves effort and time, taking time to marinade etc but the as always this effort is totally worth it.
I am always trying to make even a non vegetarian dish into completely meatless and also try my maximum to stick to the authentic way of cooking it. Likewise, the meat of this dish is usually marinated in an yogurt based sauce which I have done using vegetables instead.If you are on a diet, then this dish is not for you. Make it as a special treat - it makes a royal entrance to the table and will always be an eye catching dish in a party table.
Take a shallow pan, add one layer of cooked rice, then add the vegetables, then rice and keep alternating until the final layer is rice.Now in 1/2 tsp oil, saute the garnish until golden and then sprinkle these along with the fried onions on top of the layer. You can also add a little saffron infused with warm milk and pour it down this layer of rice. Cover it with foil and bake for 5-10min and serve warm garnished with some cilantro.
i m fond of biryani ,,, so i always think of making a perfect biryani ....so love ur post ... yesterday i made hyderabadi biryani , it came out well .....
keep posting nice and easy recipes ..
I am not really sure about that having not tried that way myself.
Parboiling means boiling vegetables slightly before they are done. It should still be crunchy but not as raw as it was when you started. Its a half cooked state or what you can otherwise called as "Blanching".
Oh yes. Anything goes. As for the rice cooker the type I own has an option of mentioning "White Rice" and it cooks automatically until the rice is cooked. I am not sure of the setting in yours but I guess it would take about 20-40 min or so for the whole thing to cook. Check intermittently if possible
