  8. Prepare 2.5 teaspoons red chilli powder,
  9. Make ready 2 teaspoons coriander powder,
  10. Prepare 1 tablespoon salt
  11. Make ready 2 teaspoons oil
Steps to make Veg Soya Biryani:
  1. Add 2-3 cups of water in a cooking pot and bring it to a boil. Then add soya chunks in the boiling hot water and cook it for 5 minutes or until soya chunks have doubled in size. Remove the soya chunks and drain the excess water. Wash it with cold water and press it hard to remove the excess water. Now take a bowl and marinate the soya chunks with yoghurt. Add turmeric, coriander powder, red chilli powder, garam masala, kasuri methi, ginger-garlic paste and green chillies. Mix all the ingredient
  2. Take 2 small bowls of rice (serving 4 people) and soak it in water for 15-20 mins. Wash the rice 3-4 times before cooking. Take a cooking pot and add 3 glasses of water and bring the water to boil. Take a muslin cloth or a clean handkerchief and add all whole spices in the cloth. 2-3 cloves (laung), 4 peppercorn (kalimirch), 1 green cardamom (elaichi), 1 black cardamom (badi elaichi) and 1 cinnamon stick (dalchini). Tie the cloth and put it in the boiling water. You can add whole spices directly
  3. Take a deep circular non-stick cooking pot with a flat base. Add 2 tablespoons oil, add 1 teaspoon cumin seeds and let it splutter. Then add 2 medium sized thinly chopped onions. Saute the onions until fully golden brown (caramalised onions). Once cooked,remove the onions and keep it aside.
  4. In the same pan add 1 teaspoon oil and then add the marinated soya chunks and cook for 5-6 minutes until the oil separates or when the curry starts leaving colour. You will see the colour change. Do not dry up the curry or else the soya chunks might burn from down. Now add little caramelized onions, add coriander leaves, mint leaves and little garam masala powder. You can add little extra spices at this stage, if you want it more spicy.
  5. Now add a full layer of cooked rice on top of the soya chunks. Then again add the remaining caramelized onions, coriander leaves, mint leaves, 3-4 teaspoons ghee (unsalted butter) and sprinkle little garam masala on the top. Take 1 tablespoon milk, add turmeric in the milk, mix well and pour it over the biryani. This gives a nice colour to the biryani. You can add salt at this stage if you think the rice is less salty. Then cover and cook on low flame for 10-15 mins. Check once after 7 minutes
  6. Tips and Variations: Vegans who do not consume dairy products, you can marinate the soya chunks in tomato puree instead of yoghurt. - Non vegans, you can replace the soya with chicken/mutton/beef
