Potli biryani features basmati rice, vegetable gravy, and fried onions – all packed in a banana leaf. This gives the biryani a unique presentation, making it ideal to serve at lunch or dinner parties. The addition of vegetable gravy further adds to its uniqueness. Plus, it’s super easy to make, so there’s no reason not to give it a try.
Potli biryani tastes best when served with raita or salan. Since yoghurt is naturally cool, it helps balance the richness and spice of the biryani. We recommend pairing onion raita or pudina raita with the biryani, but feel free to use any other raita of your choice. And if you can tolerate spice, a bowl of spicy salan is the best option for you. Don’t forget to have some sliced onions on your plate.
Making potli biryani at home is quite simple. To begin with, heat oil in a pan and add whole spices, ginger-garlic paste, and onions. Mix well. Then, add in tomatoes, carrots, beans, dry spices, curd, and salt. Give it a good mix and add chopped coriander, mint, and water. Cover the pan with the lid and allow it to cook for a few minutes. Now, place two banana leaves on top of each other and start assembling the biryani by adding one layer of boiled basmati rice. After this, add a layer of the prepared vegetable gravy, birista (fried onions), coriander, and a final layer of rice. Top it with kesar milk, birista, and coriander, fold it as a parcel, and tie it with a kitchen thread. Place the parcel in a hot steamer for about 10-12 mins. Serve hot and enjoy!
