Biryani Grain or Biryani Chawal mild flavored, aromatic grain dish usually offered at Indian restaurants. It's very simple to make you will find you're going to get restaurant style Biryani grain flavor.
I've only eaten and seen this sort of grain dish in Mumbai restaurants only. I have not observed in USA or Gujarat or elsewhere serving biryani grain.
Process of which makes it is sort of much like Jeera grain recipe. Only difference is the fact that Jeera grain has more flavor of Cumin seed inside it. While Biryani chawal has balanced flavor of whole spices inside it.
I've made fried onions in your own home which aren't crispy like commercially made one. However that’s ok it's scrumptious taste and flavor inside it.
I've come across at certain areas they add saffron inside it. I haven't added here. But if you wish to then mix pinch of crushed saffron in tablespoon of warm milk and add it when you add water.
Inclusion of fried onions and nuts takes the entire dish towards the new level. So don't skip this.
Step-by-step Recipe for Biryani grain or Biryani Chawal:
1) Wash the grain under running cold water till water runs obvious. Soak into enough tepid to warm water not less than twenty minutes.
3) Fry whole spices (cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, peppercorns, bay leaf) into herbal or ghee and fry until you get nice scent on medium heat.
5) Add onions, eco-friendly chilies and salt.
7) Saut drained grain for 1-2 minutes.
9) Once starts boiling cover the pan minimizing heat to cheapest possible. Prepare for 17-18 minutes without having to open the lid.
10) After 17 minutes turn heat off, still don't open the lid, ensure that it stays such as this not less than ten minutes. Allow the grain grains set.
11) While grain is resting, heat the two teaspoons of oil in a tiny pan. First fry cashews and almonds till light brown, take it off to some bowl.
13) Now open the coverage, fluff track of fork. It’s ok if onions don’t get crispy, it will likely be flavorful if they're browned.
I've offered this biryani grain with easy mushroom curry. You are able to serve with any dal or curry. I highly recommend serving with spicy dal or curry which balance the mild from grain and spicy from curry flavor.
