- Pressure cook for 3 whistles(After first whistle simmer it). Once pressure releases fluff it with a fork carefully without breaking the rice. Serve hot with onion raita.
- Thalicha and onion raita are the best combination for non veg biriyani.
Notes
- If you like the lemon flavor, squeeze lemon juice once the biryani is done.
- I usually use 1:1.5 cups for rice : water ratio so have given the measures accordingly. But you can use the measurement according to the variety of basmati rice you use.
- Measure water and coconut milk accordingly.
- This is less spicy so adjust spice level according to your taste.
