Method:
Boil the Egg's with little salt in 2 cup's of water on slow flame for about 10 minutes. remove the oute shell and leave it aside.
Soak the Rice in water for about 30 mins. If you are using Basmati Rice, soak it just for 10 mins.
Chop the Onion's finely and keep aside. get ready with ginger and garlic.
Now we shall Grind the masala's.. Grind the masala, with the ingredients given under Grinding and keep aside.
Heat a Aluminium Vessel(like the one shown in pic. below) add ghee or oil and let it to heat. Now add cinnamon, cloves, cardamon, bringe leaf, cashew nuts and fry them in slow flame. add saunf and fry it.
Now add the finely chopped Red Onion's and saute them, till they turn light brown. or till u feel
the nice smell of onions.
Now add the Peas and mix well with the onions.
Add the Grinded masala's to the vessel and saute them for 2 minutes, till the raw smell of ginger-garlic goes off.
Now add the soaked rice and mix well.
Add Chilli Powder and Garam masala and mix well. also add salt to taste.
Now add exactly 5 cup's of water and stir well. (if using Basmati rice use just 3 cup's of water.)
Add Boiled Egg's, Mint / puthina leaves and corriander leaves and close the vessel with its lid.
Place a Heavy weighing vessel over the Biryani cooking vessel. I kept my Pressure cooker filled with water on top of the vessel.
Let this Biryani get cooked in slow flame for about 30 mins. Basmati rice may get cooked earlier or just take 20 mins more or less.
Heat Oil in a pan, fry the chopped Red Onions in medium flame till they are browned. this may take atleast 5 mins.
also fry the potatoes.
Now serve the Biryani with fried onions and fried potatoes.
Enjoy the Dhum Cooked Egg Biryani!!!
