Qeema Biryani

Put all ingredients for the masala in a spice blender. Blend it till it turns in to fine powder and keep aside. Soak rice for 10 minutes (no more or less). Heat the water in a pot, add some salt and boil it. When it comes to a boil add the soaked rice. When they are all white and about 80 percent cooked, drain the water and keep them on the side.

Now in separate pot heat oil, around 4 - 8 tablespoons. Add whole garam masala or all the spices that are mentioned above (not the powdered ones). When they begin to splatter add the onions.

When onions turn slightly brown in color, add tomatoes and cook them on low heat. Avoid adding water at this stage. Now add the powdered masala and mix well. When the tomatoes lose their stiffness, add the minced meat and NESTLÉ MILKPAK Yogurt and fry for some time.

Add a cup of water, cover it and cook. When the water begins to simmer and the mince is cooked, add the boiled rice over it in a layer.Then add a few drops of yellow food color and kewra essence, cover it and cook it on very low heat. After 5 - 10 minutes when rice is cooked, serve your Biryani hot with NESTLÉ Podina Raita and fresh salad. This dish serves 4.
