How to Cook Sindhi Biryani:

Mix the meat (chicken, mutton, or beef) with the yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt in a large mixing bowl. To evenly coat the meat, thoroughly mix. For the finest taste, marinate it for at least two hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

Rinse the basmati rice completely and soak it for 30 minutes. Drain, then set apart.

Melt the cooking oil and ghee in a big, heavy-bottomed pan. Add the cinnamon stick, cloves, green cardamom pods, bay leaf, and cumin seeds. Tin order to release their aroma, they should be sauteed for a minute.

Cook until the onions are golden brown. Take half of the fried onions out and save them for garnish. Add the chopped tomatoes and green chilies. Cook until the oil starts to separate and the tomatoes start to soften.

Add the marinated meat to the pan and heat until it changes color and is half done.

Add the potato quarters and combine them with the meat and seasonings.

Spread the meat and potatoes on top of half of the partly cooked rice.

Scatter half of the fresh coriander and mint leaves over the rice.

Repetition is required with the leftover rice and herbs.

Cover the pan with a tight-fitting cover and set it on low heat. The rice should be tender, the meat should be thoroughly cooked, and the potatoes should be soft, so give it around 30 to 35 minutes to simmer.

Final Assembly:

With a fork, gently fluff the Sindhi Biryani, slightly combining the layers. Garnish with reserved fried onions, fresh coriander and mint leaves.
