If you're looking to make a "Might Spice Biryani," here's a basic recipe to get you started:

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups basmati rice, washed and soaked for 30 minutes
  • 1 pound (450g) boneless chicken, lamb, or vegetables of your choice
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons ginger-garlic paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • 4-6 green cardamom pods
  • 4-6 whole cloves
  • 1-2 bay leaves
  • A small cinnamon stick
  • A pinch of saffron strands soaked in warm milk
  • 1/4 cup cooking oil or ghee (clarified butter)
  • Salt to taste
  • Chopped cilantro and mint leaves for garnishing

Instructions:

  1. In a large pot, heat the oil or ghee over medium heat. Add the whole spices - cardamom pods, cloves, bay leaves, and cinnamon stick. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.

  2. Add the sliced onions and cook until they turn golden brown.

  3. Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for a couple of minutes until the raw smell disappears.

  4. Add the chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and a pinch of salt. Cook until the tomatoes soften and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.

  5. Add the chicken, lamb, or vegetables to the pot and cook until they are seared on all sides.

  6. Stir in the yogurt and garam masala. Cover and cook until the meat is tender or the vegetables are cooked through.

  7. In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and cook the soaked rice until it's about 70-80% cooked. Drain the rice.

  8. Layer the partially cooked rice over the meat or vegetable mixture in the pot. Drizzle the saffron milk over the rice.

  9. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and reduce the heat to the lowest setting. Let the biryani steam for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the rice to fully cook.

  10. Once done, gently fluff the biryani with a fork, mixing the rice and the meat/vegetables.

  11. Garnish with chopped cilantro and mint leaves.

Your "Mild Spice biryani" is now ready to be served. Adjust the spice levels and ingredients as per your preference to achieve the desired level of spiciness and flavor.
