Whenever biryani is mentioned at my house, my husband and kids light up with excitement. They're ready for it—even if they're asleep, they'll wake up for biryani!

Steps

50 minutes

1

Soak the rice for 30 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon salt and cook the rice until it's about 70% done. Drain any excess water after cooking.
2

Boil the eggs and peel them. Heat oil in a pan and fry the eggs until golden. Slice the onions thinly and fry until golden brown.
3

Gather all the whole spices. Slice the green chilies lengthwise. Finely chop the tomato.
4

In the remaining oil in the pan, leave about the amount of fried onions equal to 1 onion and remove the rest. To the onions in the pan, add the whole spices, bay leaves, green chilies, ginger-garlic paste, chopped tomato, and dry spices. Sauté well.
