Notes
- Basmati rice can also be used. Use just 1 & ½ cup water in that case.
- If you feel there is lot of masala powders in there, that's the specialty of the flavour in this recipe. But if you dont want to add all those, just add red chilli powder accordingly, dhaniya powder and garam masala or biryani powder alone.
- Thin coconut milk can also be used in place of water. Reduce oil content as coconut milk has enough fat.
- You can also add 2 cups water and pressure cook for 2 whistles at step 8.
