This Hydrabadi Soya Biryani is a simple and easy one pot meal recipe made in a pressure cooker. It is a perfect meal when served with simple sides like raita and salad.
One of the common issues for most people who do not like soya chunks is that it is tasteless or that it has a strong soya smell . To fix this problem... Firstly I cook the chunks until soft and completely squeeze out the water to ensures that the soya smell is mostly removed. And then I marinate cooked soya chunks in spice powders and curds to ensures that the soya chunks absorb maximum flavor.
When cooked with fragrant basmati rice, the soya biryani turns out delicious.
Do try this recipe you will surely love it
