Instructions
- Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamom pods, and bay leaf. Sauté for a minute until aromatic.
- Add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown.
- Stir in ginger-garlic paste and green chilli. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
- Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and the oil starts to separate.
- Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, and salt. Mix well.
- Add cooked chickpeas (chana) and mix with the masala. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, in a separate pot, bring water to a boil. Add soaked and drained basmati rice along with salt. Cook until the rice is 70% done. Drain the rice.
- In a large heavy-bottomed pan, layer half of the partially cooked rice followed by half of the chickpea masala. Repeat the layers.
- Sprinkle garam masala and chopped coriander leaves on top.
- Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes until the rice is fully cooked and aromatic.
- Once cooked, gently mix the layers together, ensuring not to break the rice grains.
- Serve hot with raita or cucumber salad.
Notes
- Ensure the rice is only partially cooked before layering to avoid overcooking during the final stage.
- This Chana Biryani can be garnished with fried onions and cashew nuts for added flavour and texture.
