Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya
Thanks Shazzyuk, I make it in many ways…using shan masala’s and my own too.
for this one recipe as follows..
1 kg of lamb chops & boneless lamb mixed
rice 3 glasses
slice 5 medium size onions & fry them with 1 cinnamon stick, 2-3 black cardamoms 7-8 pieces of whole black pepper 5-6 pieces clove. Simultaneously, add 1 tablespoon ginger paste & 1 tablespoon garlic paste each. fry until golden brown. Meanwhile, seperately bhunofy 1 tablespoon dry coriander & 1 tablespoon cumin seeds (in a non-stick pan without any oil) take it off the flame and grind it..i usually do it with mortar & pestle (dori danda).
add little bit of water, salt according to taste, 3/4 teaspoon turmeric powder & about 1 teaspoon of red chilli powder. add about half packet of shan memoni briyani masala. now add the lamb. pressure cook for about 15-20 mins. bhunofy, once water evaporates and the lamb in tender add tomatoes. bhunofy more. once oil seperates, add about 1 cup of yoghurt and cook until you get the desired consistency. it shouldnt be too watery. your masala is ready.
oh and soak the rice in advance. Boil the rice, add around 2 heaped teaspoons of salt 2-3 tablespoon of oil & 2 dried bay leaves. keep checking the rice, Once rice are almost cooked (make sure they are not fully cooked that is over cooked for briyani) drain the water. keep aside.
Now the layering, slice one lemon ( around 8-9 slices)
for the color, you can take the oil from the lamb curry and add the yellow food color powder used for briyani
spread rice in a non stick pot. place 2-3 lemon slices and few fresh mint leaves. second layer of the lamb curry..third the rice again. repeat the lemon slices & mint leaves add few drops here and there of the food color made. The last layer will be of rice. add few saffron strands on the top layer. and few drops of color.
put on dam for 20-25 mins by keeping a kitchen towel or a cotton cloth between the lid and the pot.
serve with raita …if you try, let me know how it turns out 
Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya
^ oh & i forgot while adding the tomatoes in the gravy i add around 5-6 indian green chillies as well.
