So we have some left over AALOO QEEMA in refrigerator last Saturday and I made the yummiest qeema biryani out of it. I cook biryani regularly but never actually made such yummy one and it was easy too.
This is what I did
fried one onion (2 table spoon oil)
put in 2 finely chopped tomatoes
put 2 table spoons of National biryani masala bhono it for 5 min. cover and cook on high heat for 2-3 min to make tomatoes soft
put already cooked aaloo-qeema and bhoono it for 5 more minutes
Layer it with basmati rice and layer of fresh chopped cilantro and mint.
Dissolved 1/4 tsp of yellow color in 1/8 cup of water and sprinkled it on top and simmer for 15 min
My sister makes something called “shola” that she learned from her Delhi wallay inlaws…whenever they have leftover salan (palak gosht/chukandar gosht/etc) they add rice and daal to the leftovers and cook it down into a haleem/kichra type dish…it’s sooo good!
Whenever i am left wth chicken jalferazi or chicken ginger i place it on piecds if bread n top it eth cheeze yummy cheezy chicken bites ready . My daughter loves tht. Leftover mix veges alwsyd serves goid for msking vegie pilua. Left over naan freeze them then wet them in water fry it n eat wth tea tastes awsum. Lett ovrr Chanas and kidney beans alwsys add rice them. Left over chichen salan shred it n make roll prathas
i make rice with leftovers all the time.. be it chicken, sabzi, daal.. I just add it in after browning onions, add the leftovers, water, rice and dam.. yummy chawal tayar
A Hydrabadi friend had once told me about khichra. While I like haleem, mentally I don’t like the idea of several leftovers blended and boiled down to a mash.
