Tips

  • If you want to save time, you don't have to brown the meat, just throw everything in.
  • If you prefer a different biryani masala, like the Bombay or the Sindhi, you can use that as well.
  • If you are using frozen potatoes, you don't have to thaw them first, just throw them in frozen, they will cook all the way.
  • Make sure all of the potatoes are under the water if you're using them.
  • If you don't like aloo in your biryani, don't even add it.
  • Cilantro is optional for garnishing.
  • Add food coloring if you want it to have that biryani look.
