to 15 saffron strands dissolved in 1.5 tablespoon water or yellow edible color or a pinch of turmeric dissolved in water can also be used. Curd (Yogurt): If you’re using curd or yogurt instead of coconut milk in the vegetable gravy of this biryani, then make sure to use fresh curd which is not sour. The curd should also be made from whole milk. Do not use fat free curd made from toned milk as it will split while cooking. To make this dish, you need to first fry cashew nut and raisin in ghee and keep them aside. Then in the same pan, add bay leaf, cinnamon, star anise and cumin. Let the spices splutter and add onions to it. Fry until the onion turns golden brown add soaked rice to it. Add ample amount of water, salt and green chilli and cook the rice.Reviewed by: Suneetha M.

Food Syst. 3:116. doi: 10.3389/fsufs.2019.00116 Rice: To make any biryani, you need good quality rice. Biryani is not mushy and the rice grains should remain separate in the dish. Also, the rice should not be fully cooked and only cooked about 75% or ¾ ᵗʰ. It should have a slight bite and can be cooked in a pan, pressure cooker, microwave or a rice cooker. For this Thalassery Biryani recipe either use the short grained kaima rice or the long grained basmati rice.
