Some people tend to function better under pressure. Interestingly, biryanis do too. While handi and dum variants are well-known, the pressure cooker does a good job too.
Seafood lovers, this one is for you. The soft and flavourful marinated prawns are layered on a bed of rice, and cooked in a pressure cooker in a jiffy.
The juicy red meat has an inherent flavour but tenderizing it is the challenge. Toss it with onions and spices and mix with soaked rice to make a delicious lunch.
While veg may not qualify as biryani for some, this one will surely change your mind. Add all your favourite veggies like carrots, beans and potatoes and flavour with biryani masala.
The classic chicken biryani that you’d often devour out of a handi turns out equally flavourful in a pressure cooker in a lesser amount of time.
Another seafood biryani that one cannot miss is this fish-filled rice dish. The brown basmati rice is flavoured with coconut milk and garnished with tomatoes and onions.
