Fruited Biryiani Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • The most important part of the dish is to prepare the rice so the grains stay separate and not sticky.
  • Flavoring the rice is optional too as many people enjoy some sautéed garlic, chilies etc. added to any of the variations.
  • Cover, and soak the rice in water 1/2 hour and rinse and drain well.
  • Place rice in pot with 3 cups water or broth, cinnamon stick and or saffron if using.
  • Bring to boil over medium heat and let boil uncovered 5 minutes.
  • Cover and simmer another 5 minutes or so.
  • Remove from heat, place paper towel under cover ( absorbs excess moisture ) and cover again.
  • Let sit ( rice will finish cooking ) while you are preparing the fruits, nuts and vegetables.
  • In a large pan or pot, heat oil or ghee and cook the soaked and drained mushrooms, nuts, raisins and dried fruit until well heated.
  • If you want to add small pieces of seasoned chicken, meat or seafood, add and cook them now.
  • Add the cooked rice and stir and combine with a fork.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper, a bit.
