SOYA CHUNKS BIRIYANI RECIPE

SOYA CHUNKS BIRIYANI

Soya biriyani is one of the briyani varieties which is easy to make. In our house it is very common and at least once in a month we will make this briyani.

It tastes delicious even with the simple onion raita.

Generally soya is high source of protein and it is having good fibre content. I usually make spicy tangy brinjal curry as side dish briyani along with raita. Soon I will post my brinjal gravy recipe here.

Ok now coming to the recipe.

Then close the lid and let it cook till the rice becomes fluffy. Or if using pressure cooker, cook it for 3 whistles and open after the pressure released.

Garnish with coriander and serve hot along with raita or any gravy of your choice.

NOTES:

• You can use ginger garlic paste instead of ginger and garlic.
• Soaking the rice will make the rice to cook faster and softer.
• Sauting the rice gives fluffier rice.
• You can add fried cashew at the end also.
