Sunday means chicken,mutton or sometimes beef in our house.Last Sunday i don't want to make usual beef curry,made one pot meal and that is this beef briyani.It was little spicy and very tasty.
Ingredients:
- Beef- 1\2 kg
- Basmathi rice- 2 cup
- Water- 4 cup + 1\2 cup
- Ghee +oil - 2 tbsp+ 1 tsp
- Cashew nut & pine nut- 1 tbsp r more

- Onion- 1 big
- Tomato-1
- Ginger garlic paste- 2 to3 tsp.
- Red chilly powder- 1 tsp
- garam masala- 1 tsp
- Salt to taste
To grind:
- 1\3 cup mint leaves
- 1\3 cup coriander leaves
- 3 green chilly
Method:
1.Cut beef and clean well.Add 1 tsp of gimger garlic paste ,1\2 cup water and pressure cook it for 2-3 whistle(see notes).
2.Grind the the three ingredients under " to grind" to a coarse form.Slice onion and tomato,keep all ready.
3.In a big heavy bottomed pan heat 2 tbsp of ghee+oil,add bay leaves,cloves,cinnamon and cardamon and saute for a while.
4.Add the sliced onions and saute till it becomes translucent,add ginger garlic paste,add tomato after it and saute till it expel the juice.
5.Then add a tsp of the ground paste,red chilly powder, garam masala and salt.Saute for a while,add the cooked beef to it with water(if any).Wait till all water evaporate ,then for 2 cup rice and 3 1\2- 4 cup water.check for salt,close with lid.
6.When the water begins to boil and the drained rice to it and cook in medium-low flame.when it is 3\4 done,keep it in dum.(see notes).
7.Fry cashew nut and pine nut in ghee,add to it.
Serve with simple onion raitha or any.
Note:
1.I usually by very tender beef (called veal) it just take 5-10 mins to cook.Cook according to ur beef variety.
2.For dum,keep a dosai tawa/griddle on stove and place the dish pan/kadai over it with covered well.
3.Add spice according to ur taste buds.
4.I usually make briyani in pan ,it comes correct for me,if u opt for pressure cooker u can go with it.In that method pressure the rice for 4 whistle or till done.
