Step-by-Step Recipe of Egg Biryani:
Â
Step 1: Prepare the Fried Boiled Eggs
Â
With a sharp knife, cut shallow slits on the surface of each boiled egg and proceed to mask it with turmeric powder, chili powder, and salt.
Â
Take some oil in a frying pan and, using medium heat, fry the eggs until golden brown and they become crispy. Keep them aside and add them later to the biryani.
Â
Step 2: Flavored Rice First
Â
In a big pot or deep pan, heat the oil or ghee and the sliced onions. Once done, cook it till everything turns golden-brown and caramelized, since it will add sweetness to your biryani.
Â
Step 3: Developing the Masala base
Â
When done, add ginger-garlic paste to the onions, and cooking would then follow.
Â
Throw in chopped tomatoes, cover the pan, and cook until soft.
Â
Also add the yogurt, slit green chilies and chopped coriander/mint leaves.
Season with garam masala, biryani masala, turmeric powder, chili powder, and salt, and combine well.
Â
Allow the masala to cook for around five minutes; let the oil float on the surface.
Â
Step 4: Finally the Eggs and Rice Layering
Â
Cover the masala with soaked and drained basmati rice; it will not sink to the bottom and make the layering look messy and uneven.
Â
Softly rest the seasoned eggs over the rice.
Â
Step 5: Cook and Serve
Â
After finally preparing the rice, cover it and let it cook on low heat for 20 – 25 minutes. Do not raise the lid.
Â
After cooking, lightly mix the rice and eggs by fluffing the biryani with a fork.
Â
Finally, top the dish with fried onions as well as fresh sprigs of coriander before serving.
