Ingredient

Food ration :

6 people

Cooking time :

30-40 minutes

1-2 pound

fish (salmon, haddock, steelhead, tilapia etc)

1 pound

oil - or however much oil you want

1/2 cup

pre-fried onions (non-coated nawabi fried onions)

2.5

basmati rice soaked for at least 15 minutes

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Add oil and put all the whole spices (except biryani masala, tamarind and dried plum) and saute for 30 seconds.

* Step 2

Add pre-fried onions and add 1-2 tablespoons of water to make sure that the onions don't get burnt. You don't want the onions to get browner than they already are, so move to next step quickly.

* Step 3

Add ginger garlic paste and once the raw smell has disappeared, add tomato puree.

* Step 4

Add yogurt and now add premixed shaan biryani masala, tamarind and plum. Now cook this on medium flame for at least 10-15 minutes. Keep stirring to make sure it doesn't get burnt.

* Step 5

After this, add chopped dill. This is optional.

* Step 6

Add 1 green chilli. Either whole or cut in 3 pieces.

* Step 7

Now add fish and shrimp and cook it for a few minutes.

* Step 8

After all fish has turned opaque, add 1 cup of water and bring to boil.

* Step 9

Taste the broth, if the salt seems adequate, then it means you need to add more salt: at least 1/2 tablespoon more.

* Step 10

Now drain the rice that was soaked in water, and add it to the broth/biryani masala that you have made.

* Step 11

Once water has evaporated to the point that you can start seeing the rice grains, cover, and turn high flame for 1 minute. Then switch to low flame for 15 minutes. Once 15 minutes up, uncover, carefully mix the rice so that they don't break and serve.
