1kg Daawat Briyani basmati rice (use basmati rice of your choice)
4 tbsp Ghee or butter
40 curry leaves
4 Bay leaves
4 cinnamon sticks
1 tbsp cloves
8 star anise
8 cardamom
1 bulb of garlic grated
1 inch ginger grated

1 liter chicken stock
4 tbsp baba's nasi briyani powder

Fry butter, bay leaves, star anise, cinnamon, green cardamom, cloves, curry leaves till fragrant.
Then throw in garlic n small onion till they are golden then add chicken stock.

(You will be using this water to cook basmati rice so you need to measure how much broth to put in. I use 1:1 ratio)

Taste to see if it’s ok. Make sure it’s salty enough. Let it boil n simmer till fragrant. Once the smell is out, off the fire.

Preperation for rice:
Please wash basmati rice 4-5 times to get rid of the smell. Use both hands to rub.

Soak basmati rice for 1-2 hours.

Layering the briyani:
Ingredients:
Fried shallots

Layer the base of rice cooker with rice, some fried shallots and beef. Repeat 3 times and make sure to pack the meat and rice down.

Pour the spice broth over the rice and press the cook button.

Garnish the dish with parsley, fried small onion and Cashew nut on top. Serve.
