7 Steps To Make Mughlai Style Biryani At Home

1.)

Start by soaking basmati rice in water for 30-40 minutes to ensure the grains cook long and fluffy. In a large pot of boiling water, add a few whole spices like bay leaf, cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves.

2.)

Mix the meat with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, fried onions, biryani masala, red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, lemon juice, and salt.

3.)

In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat ghee and fry onions until golden brown. Add the marinated meat and cook for 10-15 minutes.

4.)

Once the rice is cooked and the meat gravy is ready, it’s time to layer the biryani. In a large pot, add a layer of the cooked rice, followed by a layer of the cooked meat.

5.)

Drizzle a bit of warm ghee over the top layer of rice.

6.)

Seal the pot tightly with dough or a tight-fitting lid. Place the pot over low heat and let the biryani cook for 20-30 minutes.

7.)

Once the biryani is cooked to perfection, remove the dough or lid and serve the Mughlai biryani with raita.
