Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Wash & soak the rice in water for 1/2 hr.
Step #2 Drain off the water and tie the rice into a cloth.
Step #3 Add the meat to a mixture of the yogurt & 2 tsp salt & set aside.
Step #4 Saute the chiles in 1 TBS ghee.
Step #5 Mix the chiles, & half the cinnamon, garlic, ginger, cloves & cardamom together & grind into a fine paste.
Step #6 Rub the ground spices into the meat.
Step #7 Heat half the remaining ghee & add the meat & spice/yogurt mixture & half the onions & cook over a low fire until the meat is tender.
Step #8 Heat the remaining ghee & add the remaining cinnamon, cloves & cardamom.
Step #9 After they have cooked for a few mins add the rest of the onions & fry until they are golden brown.
Step #10 Add the rice & fry it until it is slightly brown.
Step #11 At this point, add the 6 c boiling water, & then the turmeric & remaining salt.
Step #12 Let the rice mixture cook this until the water is almost level with the grains (the rice should be half done by then) & then add the meat & its gravy.
Step #13 Do not mix them, after placing a tight lid on the pot, but, let the biriyani simmer for 15-20 mins.
Step #14 After this, mix well and serve.
Step #15 Serves 8.
Step #16 This is almost a complete meal by itself, although pickles, chutneys & vegetables dishes would probably be served with it.
