Beef Biryani

stewing beef (cubed)

vegetable oil

cumin seeds

black peppers

(cloves)

black cardamom (optional)

1-1.5 inch piece cinnamon stick

onions

green chillies

tbsp ginger paste ((measuring spoons))

garlic paste ((measuring spoons))

salt

tbsp red chilli powder

turmeric powder

1/2-1 tsp red chilli flakes

coriander powder

tomatoes diced (see notes)

plums

potatoes

rice

salt ((see notes))

cilantro

mint ((optional))

lemon

tsp of yogurt mixed with 2 tbsp water

Rang/Yellow coloring

green chilies

Wash rice to drain away excess starch and then soak and set aside

Boil the rice in salted water while your masala is cooking until it is just cooked, but not tender enough to eat as is.

Rice

Heat 1/2 cup oil in saute mode (medium heat) and add your whole spices

When they sputter and smell toasty add your onion and green chilies and cook till the edges of the onion are golden

Now add your ginger and garlic paste, saute for a minute

Add the spices, give it a quick mix

Stir in the beef, sauteeing until the beef cubes are evenly browned.

Stir in your tomatoes, dried plums (if using), and 2 cups hot water.

Pressure cook (manual) for 14 minutes

Quick release then add the potatoes and cook for another 3 minutes (4 if your potatoes usually take a long time to cook)

Quick release and then saute to dry up the excess liquid - I like to remove my potatoes here and add them back in later to avoid breaking them. The masala should be so dry that it starts to stick to the bottom and the oil rises to the top.

Taste and adjust seasoning - you want a little salty and a little spicy - if you have not used dried plums add lemon juice at this point.

Meat Masala

Layer half the rice in the pot you used to cook it, then the meat masala, then scatter cilantro, mint and chilies over top and follow it by the remaining half of the rice.

Mix a little food color with yogurt and drizzle over top.

Cover the pot and cook on the lowest heat for 25 minutes.

Use a flat spoon or a small plate and gently mix it to avoid breaking the rice and serve with raita and kachumbar.
