PREPARATION OF DELICIOUS BRIYANI

Wash the basmati rice. Before you begin cooking, you need to wash the rice. Fill a large bowl with cold water and pour in the rice. Use your hand to stir the rice in one direction. The water should get cloudy, so pour off the 
cloudy water. Refill the bowl with water. Continue rinsing the rice until the water is clear. Washing the rice removes surface starches and any debris.

Add mint leaves, coriander leaves, and green chilies to the pan. Stir and Sauté for a minute or so. Then add the ginger and garlic paste. Stir into the mixture in the pan, then Sauté for a couple of minutes.

Add garam masala, chili powder, carrots, peas and beans. Sauté for a few more minutes, stirring regularly.

Pour in 8 cups of water. After adding the water, add salt to taste. Stir everything together, then bring the mixture to a boil.

 Add the rice. Pour the rice into the boiling water. Add the lemon juice. Cover the pot with a tight lid. Let the rice cook until done.

• The rice is done when it is al dente, not mushy.
• As you check the rice, refrain from stirring. This will break the rice grains.
• Add more water to the pot if you believe the water level is getting too low. Recover the rice and continue letting it cook.
• 
  

 Serve. Once the rice has cooked, serve the biryani hot. Try serving the biryani rice with rich curries or other delectable Indian main courses.
