Biryani Ingredients

Method

Biryani Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Meat

    In a bowl, combine the wild muntjac meat, yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, biryani masala, and salt. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak it in water for 30 minutes, then drain.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Onions

    In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Add the Meat

    Add the marinated meat to the pot, along with cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, bay leaf, and cloves. Cook until the meat is browned.

  5. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Mint

    Stir in the chopped tomatoes and mint leaves. Cook for a few minutes until the tomatoes soften.

  6. 6

    Layer the Rice

    Add the soaked rice on top of the meat mixture. Pour in 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes until the rice is cooked.

  7. 7

    Fluff and Serve

    Once done, fluff the biryani with a fork and serve hot with pomegranate & mint raita.
