kuska biryani recipe

Hotel style kuska biryani recipe made with seeraga samba biryani rice.Kuska biryani is plain biryani without vegetables but still it tastes so flavourful.This kuska biryani comes handy when you don’t have any vegetables,just pair it up raita and you have a hearty meal ready.The speciality of kuska rice is the rice they use, it is called seeraga samba rice, looks very tiny in size, has a great flavour when used for biryani recipes.

I have had kuska biryani at a shop near my perimmas house.That is the best kuska biryani or plain biryani I’ve tasted.Whenever we leave from trichy it became a custom to buy from that shop for our way back journey meal.Amma usually makes it this way but I modified the recipe to  replicate hotel taste and here is the recipe for it.They also call it as empty biryani.Amma says in shops they make nonveg biryani, put the pieces aside and serve it as kuska biryani, not really sure if that is true.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup seeraga sambar rice

  • 1/4 cup mint leaves
  • 1 no tomato roughly chopped
  • 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
  • 2 tsp coriander leaves finely chopped
  • salt to taste

To temper:

  • 2 tsp oil
  • 1 tbsp ghee
  • 1/2 inch cinnamon
  • 2 no cloves
  • 1 no bayleaf
  • 1 no cardamom
  • 1/4 tsp stone flower
  • 1 no green chilli slitted

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl add rice and water, soak for 15 mins. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat oil + ghee in a pressure cooker - add cinnamom,cloves,bayleaf,cardamom,stoneflower and green chilli.Let it splutter.Add onion,tomato saute until mushy. It may take atleast 5mins in low flame.
  • Add mint leaves, saute for a minute then add ginger garlic paste mix it.Then add red chilli powder and required salt.
  • Saute and cook for atleast for 3 mins or until the masalas are well blended with onion tomato mixture.Add strained rice, mix it once.Add coconut milk.
  • Add water, mix it.Pressure cook for 1 whistle in medium high flame, simmer and cook for 3mins.Switch off.
  • Let the pressure release manually.Once pressure releases, open the cooker and fluff it.You can even add a tsp of ghee at this stage.Finally garnish with coriander leaves, mix it.Serve hot with onion raita!

Notes

  • The ratio is 1:2(rice:water). I included coconut milk in that ratio so reduced water.Do not add more coconut milk the rice may become sticky.
  • Do not compromise oil or ghee, then the rice may become sticky and mushy.
  • Once you open it may looks sticky but after fluffing it will become perfect.
