Cauliflower Biryani

Ingredients

 Biryani rice - 2 cups
 Water - 4 cups
 Cauliflower - 1/2
 Onion - 1
 Tomatoes  - 2
 Green chilli - 2
 Ginger garlic paste - 1 spoon
 Curry leaves
 Coriander leaves
 Mint leaves
 Coriander powder - 1 tespoon
Turmeric powder - 1 teaspoon
Chilly powder - 1 teaspoon
Pepper powder - 1 teaspoon
Garam masala - 1 teaspoon
Spices powder  - 1 teaspoons
Curd - 1 tablespoon
Salt
Oil


To garnish

Onion  - 1
Cashew  - 50 grams
Rasins  - 50 grams

In a deep pan,  heat 2 tablespoon of oil. Once oil is hot, add finely chopped onions. Saute it until it turns golden brown color. Add sliced tomato's,  ginger garlic paste , green chillies and all the fresh leaves like coriander, mint and curry leaves.  Add salt per taste. Saute it for two minutes. Now add all the masala powder. Red chilly, coriander, turmeric, garam masala , pepper powder and spices powder. Saute it until the raw smell goes off. Finally add curd and saute it for a minute. 

Soak rice in 4 cups of water for 10 minutes. Add this rice in the pan and mix it well with masala. Cover the lid and let it cook in medium to low flame for 15 to 20 minutes. I used 2 cups of water for one rice since the Biryani was prepared in pan and not in cooker. If you are using cooker, I would suggest to measure and take 1.5 cup of water for 1 cup of rice.

Fry onion separate until it becomes dark brown and add cashews and black raisins to this. Once it turns brown color . Turn off the flame and add it on top of the rice before serving. Keep stirring the rice so that it won't stick to the bottom of the pan. This is an easy  recipe to try. Happy Cooking!
