Ingredients:
2 tablespoons cumin seeds
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
2 tablespoons cardamom seeds
2 tablespoons black peppercorns
1 (3-inch) stick cinnamon, broken up
1 teaspoon whole cloves
1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon saffron (optional)
Instructions:
Put the cumin, coriander, cardamom, peppercorns, cinnamon, and cloves in a dry heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Toast the spices, stirring occasionally, until they turn several shades darker and give off a sweet smoky aroma, about 10 minutes. Do not raise the heat to quicken the process, or the spices will brown prematurely, leaving the insides undercooked. Cool completely.
Working in batches if necessary, transfer the mixture to a spice mill or coffee grinder and grind to a powder. Stir in the nutmeg and saffron. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
Ingredients:
・ Meat (Beef, Mutton or Chicken) - 500-750g
・ Basmati rice soaked for 30mins (for more/hot masala use 500g rice) - 500-750g
・ Onions (medium sized finely sliced) - 5 (300g)
・ Tomatoes medium sized (chopped) - 4-5 (300g)
・ Potatoes medium sized (peeled and cut in 4 pcs) - 3-4 (250g)
・ Yoghurt (beaten) - 1 cup (200g)
・ Ghee/Cooking Oil - 1-1? cup (200g)
・ Laziza Zafrani Bombay Biryani Masala - 1 bag
Easy steps:
1. Fry onions till becomes golden. Put cut tomatoes & fry till oil/ghee separates. Add meat, Laziza Bombay Biryani Masala (one bag), potatoes and yoghurt, fry for 10-15 minutes.
2. Add 1-2 glasses of water, cover and cook on low flame till meat is tender (in case of chicken add only 1-2 cups of water) now stir fry on high flame to make masala thick & ghee/oil separates.
3. Separately boil soaked rice in 12 glasses of hot water with 3 tablespoons of salt till half tender. Drain water thoroughly.
4. Form 1 layer of rice. Spread meat masala. Then form third layer on it with remaining rice. Cover the lid and cook on low flame for simmering till rice is fully cooked/tender.
Mix thoroughly with flat spoon before serving.
