Pulao Biryani

Did not know what to name it..was reading some biryani recipes but found them very difficult..so started with this easy experiment with much less ingredients and less complexity..

Ingredients:
1.Basmati rice - i used Regular Basmati - Soaked them in water 1 hr before
2.Dalchini
3.Laung
4.Cardemom-3-4 pieces
5.Potato - in small cubes
6.Onion- sliced
7.Capsicum - Finely chopped
8.Refined Oil
9.Jeera

Procedure
1. Fry onions,Capsicum,Laung,Dalchini,Potato,cardemom in refined oil.
2.Add saoked rice and fry them for some time.
3. Keep adding little water each time n cook slowly.
4. once almost near to cooked,cover lid and wait 5-6 min and shut down the gas and keep the lid closed.
5.Once whistle goes off itself,then open the lid.

Serve hot..it really smelled very nice and was very tasty also.My hubby loved it .
Waiting for brother-in-law's comments :).

Well my hubby dear n borther-in law loved it..but suggested that i shd put the laung,dalchini in powder form..they feel it is a big task to remove them while eating.Need to try tht now.

Next day i actually added more vegetables..beans..carrots also..n added garam masala..salt n little of chilli powder also..before just closing the lid...i put two hard boiled eggs cut in half..this made the dish very spicy kind and awesome combo with cucumber raita :)
