4 servings
Servings4
2 cups basmati rice
4 eggs
2 onions
2 tomatoes
1 inch ginger
4 cloves garlic
2 green chilies
1 cup yogurt
2 tablespoons biryani masala
1/4 cup coriander leaves
1/4 cup mint leaves
3 tablespoons oil

basmati rice

🥗Healthier: quinoa

💰Cheaper: long-grain rice

Quinoa is a healthier grain option, while long-grain rice is more economical.

yogurt

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: buttermilk

Greek yogurt adds creaminess with less fat, while buttermilk is a budget-friendly alternative.

biryani masala

🥗Healthier: homemade spice mix

💰Cheaper: curry powder

A homemade mix can be healthier and tailored to taste, while curry powder is often less expensive.

saffron

💰Cheaper: turmeric

Turmeric provides color at a fraction of the cost, though it lacks saffron's unique flavor.

1

Rinse 2 cups of basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak for 30 minutes.

2

In a pot, bring water to a boil and add the soaked rice. Cook until the rice is about 70% done, then drain and set aside.

In another pot, boil 4 eggs for 10 minutes, then cool them in cold water, peel, and set aside.

4

Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

5

Add 2 sliced onions and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

6

Stir in 1 inch of grated ginger, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 2 chopped green chilies; cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

7

Add 2 chopped tomatoes and cook until soft, about 3-4 minutes.

8

Mix in 1 cup of yogurt and 2 tablespoons of biryani masala; cook for 2-3 minutes until well combined.

9

Layer half of the cooked rice over the masala mixture in the pot.

10

Place the boiled eggs on top of the rice layer.

11

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of chopped coriander and 1/4 cup of mint leaves over the eggs.

12

Add the remaining rice on top, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and a pinch of saffron if using.

13

Cover the pot tightly and cook on low heat for 20-25 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

14

Remove from heat and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
