Boneless beef Biryani
Beef Biryani ~ a highly aromatic and well-seasoned dish originally from Pakistan that has a perfect balance of beef meat, rice and spices that’s going to excite your taste buds on this significant occassion of Eid ul Adha which we muslims of all over the globe celeberate with passion and zeal every year.
So how it is possible? the event of Eid ul Adha is here and we don't cook the most triditional and aromatic biryani on this Eid! It's impossible right! This beef biryani is pretty simple to make and it has a unique taste and a little spicy too.
Making biryani is not difficult, key thing is the type of rice use in cooking matters most. Long and slender Basmati rice is the perfect choice as it easily becomes fluffy when cooking and doesn’t get too mushy like the rest.
Soak the rice for 30 minutes atleast and boil these rice prior your gravy is done, so this way the biryani rice will not be sticky at the end. Also I don't use the premade biryani masala if you want to add I will prefer to add just a teaspoon because the biryani will be very delicious without these artificial and unhealthy spices mixes.
