Fish Biryani
Instructions
For preparing the Fish biryani, you can use any fish but many prefer using the fish with a single bone or boneless. Here we are using the popularly known Mahi fish. Wash and remove the skin of the fish and cut them into medium size chunks. Marinate the fish pieces with chilli powder, turmeric powder, little oil, biryani masala, lime juice and salt. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly and keep it aside to rest for 30 mins.
In a pan, heat oil and shallow fry the fish pieces. Fry them in batched until they are 70 % to 80% cooked for about 3 to 4 mins. Drain oil and remove them into a plate and keep aside. In the same oil, add yoghurt, biryani masala, fresh mint leaves, coriander leaves and dill leaves, ginger garlic paste, slit green chillies, lime juice, fried onions and sauté them nicely. Take half of this mixture and spread it over the fried fish.
In separate vessel boil water add whole garam masala. When the water comes to boil add the rice (washed and soaked for 30 mins) and cook till the rice is 80% done. Drain the water and add this rice into the pan with yoghurt masala, sprinkle saffron color, fried onion and top it with the fish pieces and the masala. Spread evenly over the rice. Cover and cook on slow heat for another 10 mins. Once the rice is cooked the fish biryani is ready to serve.
