This recipe was delish!! Even though, I did some substitutions and omissions from the ingredients called for, the end product was awesome! I used a black cardamom and one japathri instead of star anise and added grated carrot only instead of chopped carrots and beans.. also, instead of thick coconut milk and water, I added two cups of light coconut milk and had to add extra water - if this helps anybody 😉

Can I transfer d rice to pressure cooker instead of boiling in a pan?... If yes, how many sounds should b left?....Wil b waiting fr ur reply
Aarthi
@vaishu chandrasekaranif u are cooking it in cooker, use 1.5 cup of liquid for 1 cup of rice and bring the mix to a boil, then lower the flame and cover the cooker. COok on low heat for 15 mins. thats it

Can we use ready-made Briyani masala instead of grinding these ingredients?
Dhaaranee Naidu
Thank you for the recipe 😊 can ordinary rice be used instead of basmati? If so then how much water to add on a pan for normal rice and how many whistles in cooker? Will the quantity of water change?
Arya
Thanks for the recipe. Biriyani came out great and was packed in flavours.. Even my 3 year old daughter loved it.
