Pudina Biryani / Spicy Mint Biriyani (Without Vegetable or Meat)

September 10, 2014 By Preeti Tamilarasan 8 Comments

Pudina Biryani / Spicy Mint Biriyani (Without Vegetable or Meat)
Pudina Biryani / Spicy Mint Biriyani (Without Vegetable or Meat)
Pudina Biryani / Spicy Mint Biriyani (Without Vegetable or Meat), another flavorful biryani made with fresh ground mint paste and biryani masala. The cooking procedure is very similar to Kuska preparation, but the quantity of mint varies. And i have also not used veg/non-veg stock or coconut milk here. If you are looking for simple Pudina Rice, then do check this recipe.
I always prepare fresh biryani masala at the time of preparation, but you can prepare it in advance and store in an airtight container. To make it vegan, you can skip curd/ yogurt and replace with cashew paste which will make it more flavorful.
Instead of seeraga samba rice, try this biryani with raw rice or basmati rice. I have followed Dum method  since I’m always more comfortable with this method when it comes for biryani preparation. Though it takes more time, but it never fails me, and also the rice doesn’t turn mushy. Lets check the recipe,
