TOO GOOD BEEF BIRYANI

Steps:

• Heat oil in a wok.
• Fry the boiled beef in the hot oil until it turns brown on either side.
• Remove the fried beef and allow the excess oil to drain on clean paper kitchen napkins.
• Add all the onions to the hot oil, except for 2 sliced onions, and stir-fry briefly (about 7-10 minutes).
• Add turmeric powder, chilli powder, corriander powder, cardamoms, bay leaves and half the black peppercorns.
• Mix well until it forms a dry paste.
• Stir in the chicken stock.
• Add tomato slices and cook until the water in the tomato dries up and oil floats on the top.
• Put the fried beef lightly crushed by hand into it.
• Mix in the salt as per your taste.
• Allow it to cook on low flame until cooked.
• While it is cooking, heat oil in a skillet.
• Fry the remaining onions in it until they turn light brown.
• Remove from heat.
• Add the remaining peppercorns, bay leaves and green cardamoms to the same oil.
• Then, toss in the cashewnuts and pistachios and fry until lightly golden brown and aromatic.
• Add the drained rice to the oil and mix well.
• Add 5 glasses of water and a pinch of salt.
• When the rice comes to a boil, reduce flame and keep it covered.
• As the water gets absorbed by the rice, remove half of it and put the prepared beef curry on top.
• Garnish with mint leaves, corriander leaves, cashewnuts, fried onions and pistachios.
• Spread the remaining rice on top of this and give one more layer of garnish.
• Keep it on low flame, covered, for 10 minutes, and let it cook.
• All the flavours will blend most beautifully!
• Serve this awesome complete meal hot!
