Instant Pot Lamb Biryani | Kacchi Lamb Dum Biryani

lamb

Full-Fat Greek Yogurt

Onion (minced)

Cilantro (chopped)

Mint (chopped)

Ginger (minced)

Garlic (minced)

Garam Masala

Kosher Salt

Turmeric

Cayenne Pepper ((adjust

Cardamom

Cinnamon

Cloves

Serrano peppers (minced (adjust to taste))

Water

cilantro

Onion (thinly sliced)

If you follow the order in which I list steps, this will come together efficiently. So first rinse the rice and set it aside. This rinse will allow the rice to soften a bit and absorb some water.

Into a bowl, pour all the ingredients for the marinade, along with the lamb.

Let the lamb marinate for 30 minutes, while the rice rests. This is a good time to get the onions for the garnish together.&nbsp;

Turn your oven to broil. Line a baking pan with foil.

Thinly slice your onions and break apart the slices with your fingers. Lay these on the foil covered pan, add salt and the oil, and mix well.

Broil these onions for about 15 minutes stirring only once or twice. Traditionally this is done in a pan on the stove, but it's quite a painstaking process. This method is largely hands-off and works well.&nbsp;

By this time, your lamb has probably marinated and you're ready to put it all together.

In the inner liner of your instant pot, spread the marinated lamb, yogurt and spice mixture to cover the bottom.

Carefully spread the rice all over the meat in a uniform layer.

Pour in the 1 cup of water and gently push down the rice until it's submerged under water. Do not mix the lamb and the rice together.

Cook at High Pressure for 6 minutes and allow it to fully release pressure naturally. This part is important, here is where we are approximating the "dum" (steam cooking) part of the Dum Biryani.&nbsp;

Open and garnish with 1/2 cup chopped cilantro and the browned onions.&nbsp;

Recipe: Instant Pot Beef Biryani

Shrimp or prawn biryani is a delicious biryani made by cooking aromatic basmati rice with prawns or shrimp and spices. This restaurant-quality dish can be made easily in the Instant Pot!

Instant Pot Shrimp Biryani

shrimp

ghee (or use butter

onion (sliced thin)

tbsp ginger-garlic paste

raisins and cashews

green chillies (or use bird's eye chilies)

bay leaves

tomatoes (diced)

mint and coriander

turmeric powder

tsp garam masala (see notes)

coconut milk

basmati rice

water

salt (to season)

Soak the basmati rice in water for 30 minutes. After soaking, drain the water and rinse the rice before using it.

Turn the IP to &#039;Sauté&#039; mode. Add the ghee, followed by the sliced red onions. Sauté until the onions begin to brown.

Add the ginger-garlic paste, followed by the raisins and cashews, green chillies, bay leaves, chopped tomato, fresh mint and coriander.

Sauté until the tomatoes release their moisture and start to soften (around 1 minute).

Add the red chili powder, turmeric and garam masala and stir to combine with the rest of the ingredients.

Important: Deglaze your Instant Pot with a tablespoon of water, to make sure there is no residue sticking to the bottom of the pot. Any residue will trigger the Burn error.

Add the basmati rice. Give it a good stir to combine.

Add the coconut milk and mix well.

Add 1 ¾ cups water and mix well.

Add the shrimp, followed by the salt and mix well to combine.

Put on the lid of the IP, and with the valve in &#039;sealing&#039; position, switch to &#039;Manual&#039; mode, in &#039;High&#039; setting. Set the time for 5 minutes.

Let the biryani pressure cook, and let the steam release naturally (do not open the valve to release steam, let the vent go down on its own) for 10 minutes. Then, lift the vent to release any residual steam.

Open the lid of the IP and gently fluff up the biryani with a fork.

Serve with a garnish of coriander, wedges of lemon, and raita (spiced yogurt) on the side. You can also serve the biryani with Indian pickle or green chutney.
