Ingredients
For the rice:
2 cups basmati rice (place the rice in a bowl and cover with an inch of water and let it
stand 30 minutes. Drain the water and wash the rice thoroughly in 2-3 changes of water
or in a colander under running water)
3 green cardamom pods
3 cloves
Salt to taste
Salt to taste
A generous pinch of saffron strands
1/4 cup nondairy milk
Instructions
1. To make the rice, place 3 cups of water in a microwave safe bowl with the drained and
washed rice, the cloves, cardamom, and enough salt to flavor the rice to your liking.
Remember, you can't add salt to the rice after it's cooked, so best to add enough now.
Zap the rice in the microwave for 8 minutes. It should be about 80 percent done.
You can make the rice on the stovetop, like you'd cook pasta, until it reaches the desired
doneness. Drain the rice and set aside.
2. Place the ground meat in a bowl, add the yogurt, 1 tbsp of the biryani masala, 1 tsp garam
masala, the ginger garlic paste, cayenne, turmeric and lemon juice. Add half the mint and
coriander leaves, reserving the rest for later.
Mix well and set aside. You can do this ahead, if you like. If you make it a day earlier, cover
and keep the bowl in a refrigerator. The longer the ground meat stands in the marinade,
the more flavor it will absorb.
3. Mix the saffron strands in a small bowl with the nondairy milk and set aside.
4. Heat oil in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid. Add the shah jeera or cumin, cardamom pods,
cloves and bay leaves. Quickly stir-fry them for about 30 seconds to a minute over
medium heat until they begin to change color.
Add the kasoori methi, remaining cilantro and mint, and half the fried onions. Add the
remaining garam masala and biryani masala powders and stir them in, then add the
meatless meat along with all of the marinade.
Add a quarter cup of water to the bowl that the meat was in, swirl to get any remaining
marinade, and add to the pot.
