plain biryani (veg)


Plain biryani is a variant of biryani which doesn't use the elaborate ingredients and layering of veggies is also not done. It doesn't require much ingredients. It tastes like biryani . In short we can call it short cut biryani😂

Cinnamon stick 1 inch piece
Cloves 6
Star anise 1

Salt as per taste
Slit green chillies 2
Chopped coriander/mint 2 tbsp (I used coriander since I dint have mint leaves)
Saffron soaked in 1/2 cup milk
Onion chopped 2 
Biryani masala 1 tbsp

Add bay leaf and all the garam masalas
Add onions and fry till brownish

Lower the flame and cook till rice is 90 percent done
Remove lid and add saffron
Add coriander leaves on top
Cook again on low flame for 5 minutes
Cover with a towel and place lid on top
Switch off flame
Keep it for 5 more minutes
