• 1 tablespoon garlic paste
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoon biryani masala powder
• salt as required
• 6 tablespoon mustard oil
• 2 tablespoon mint leaves
• 1 teaspoon turmeric

• 2 cup basmati rice
• 1 tablespoon ginger paste
• 4 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon garam masala powder
• 1 teaspoon red chilli powder
• 2 cup water
• 2 tablespoon cilantro
• 1/4 cup yoghurt (curd)

 

           Method

• Step 1 Saute onions with whole spices

  To prepare the delicious jackfruit biryani, place a large pressure cooker on medium flame. Heat 4 tbsp oil and add bay leaf and whole black pepper. Add thinly chopped onion and saute for a minute.

• Step 2 Add spices and saute until onions are golden brown in colour

  Now, add ginger-garlic paste and saute till onions are golden brown. Add red chilli powder, salt as per taste, and mix well.

• Step 3 Fry jackfruit in the cooker for 2-3 minutes

  Put jackfruit in the pressure cooker and saute for a minute. Cover lightly and cook for 3 minutes. Stir occasionally.

• Step 4 Cook jackruit with all the spices and yoghurt

  Add biryani masala, garam masala, turmeric, yoghurt to the cooker and mix well. Cover and let it cook for another 3 minutes. This will help jackfruit to absorb all the flavours and soften.

• Step 5 Pressure cook the jackfruit with rice

  Now, add the rice, stir to mix well and cook for 3 minutes. Add water and close the lid. Pressure cook on high till 3-4 whistles. Turn off the flame and let the pressure cooker cool.

• Step 6 Once done, garnish as you like and serve hot

  Open the lid of the pressure cooker once it is at normal temperature and all the steam is out. Take out the kathal biryani and let it cool. Plate the biryani, and garnish with cashews, chopped cilantro and mint leaves. Serve hot with raita and green chutney.

Tips

1. To increase the flavour of your Jackfruit Biryani, you can marinate jackfruit for 20-30 minutes with all the spices first and then fry it.
2. Use mustard oil for frying jackfruit or kathal, this would bring more flavour to your biryani.
3. In this method, we have made instant biryani. However, for best results, cook rice separately with the whole spices wrapped in a muslin cloth.
4. You can also apply dum method to this biryani for more flavours. Use some dough to cover the pressure cooker and seal with it.
