Rice Quality
Use high-quality basmati rice for the best aroma and texture. Soak the rice for at least 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking and fluffy grains.
Spice Balance
Toast the whole spices lightly before grinding them to release their essential oils and enhance their flavor. Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preferred spice level.
Layering Technique
Layer the rice and vegetables evenly in the pot to ensure consistent cooking and flavor distribution. A final layer of fried onions, saffron-infused milk, and ghee enhances the aroma and richness.
Dum Cooking
Cooking the biryani on 'dum' (slow steam cooking) is crucial for developing the flavors. Seal the pot tightly with dough or a heavy lid to trap the steam and allow the flavors to meld together.
