Instructions to make Shahi Chana Masala biryani:
- Soak chick peas overnight. They double in size after soaking, so take accordingly.
- Cook them in a pressure cooker till 5-6 whistles or till very soft. Do not add salt or turmeric. Add just water. Do not discard the water. You can see notes for the use of this water in the end.
- In a pan boil 3 cups water with some salt, cinnamon stick, bay leaves, cardamom, pepper pods and cloves. Add rice and cook 70% through.
- Strain the hot water of the rice, rinse with some tap water and set aside.
- Wash clean and chop, slice and crush all the veggies and keep them ready.
- Mix lukewarm milk with saffron strands and keep aside.
- In a pan Fry the dry fruits and keep aside for garnish.
- In same pan Fry half of the sliced onions by stirring continuously and keep aside.
- In the same pan of oil add some more oil if required and add black cumin seeds, add ginger garlic and fry.
- Add chillies, onions and sautè till golden brown.
- Add all the Masala powders and salt and roast. This may burn so add some water and cook till oil separates.
- Add tomatoes and fry till cooked well.
- Add boiled chana and mix.
- In a thick bottom pan or a cooker we will have to cook the biryani on low flame. I am using my 5 litre cooker for this.
- Grease the bottom of the cooker with some oil. So masalas doesn't burn from bottom.
- Layer chana masala, rice, ghee, mint leaves and saffron milk. Cover the cooker and cook for 8-10 minutes.
- There is no particular order. You may layer as you wish to. Also if you don't have a heavy bottom pan. Keep a skillet on the burner and place you biryani pot over it.
- I arranged in 2 layers. So that last layer is of rice. You can also mix some food colour with milk and pour it.over the rice. So you will get colourful biryani. But is for add any.
- Your biryani is ready to serve. Enjoy your Shahi Chana Masala Biryani with salted buttermilk and salad.
- I served in earthen pots to give earthy look. They can also be kept in oven for heating.
- This leftover water after straining boiled peas is used as aquafaba.
- Reduce the water to almost 1/4 quantity. Cool and store it in a clean container to use later.
