Hi Friends...
  Sometimes you don't feel like making full meal including dal, roti, raita and rice...Biryani is a great solution to break your same old routine.
Biryani is the rice item which is cooked with lot of spices and veggies or chicken or egg.
Its is served with raita or curry dish. Most famous is the Hyderabadi biryani. ..Me love the biryani most so sharing my recipe with you all.

  3. Grind mint leaves, coriander leaves and green chilies. Keep it aside.
  4. To the remaining half caramelised onions add ginger garlic paste and saute. 
  5. Add green paste and mix well. Saute for 4-5 mins.
  6. Add red chilly powder, coriander powder,salt, garam masala, biryani masala powder and mix well. 
  7. Add chopped tomatoes and cook till oil separates. 
  8. Add the yogurt and combine. Cook for another 5 mins. 
  9. Remove from fire.
  10. Take a wide deep vessel to prepare the biryani. Add apply some oil all over, add half the rice as a first layer followed by the  masala, place eggs on the masala and spread out in the vessel.
  11. Spread the remaining rice over the egg masala layer, pour 2 tbsp of ghee all over the rice, add the caramelised onions. Garnish coriander leaves and pour the saffron milk over the rice.
  12. Place lid and over the lid place a heavy weight. 
  13. Place the iron tawa on the burner then keep the vessel on top of the tawa and cook biryani for 15 mins on low flame.
