HOW TO COOK

wash and marinate eggs  with half turmeric,salt,1 tsp GGP..Over night marination is good for best recipe or at least keep this aside for 1 hour......*I went with over marination step..

chop 1 onion into pieces and other two chop into thin long slices and chop tomatoes too.......Wash and soak rice for 30 minutes..

Heat a pan with 1/4 cup of oil and fry sliced onions finely..remove from oil and place them on 

heat a pressure cooker with oil and add in back cumin and saute..Then add chopped onions and fry well. add tomatoes and mix it..

Mean while heat a big vessel with enough water and add in whole spices which mentioned under "TO COOK RICE YOU NEED"..When water starts boiling add in rice and cook til 60%. rice should be 3/4 th cooked at least but not completely..

Then drain rice into colander and keep aside.Boil water, add color and mix.keep aside.

Now in cooker,add in marinated eggs and mix it once..To this add all spice powders as per your taste.(i.e., chili powder,salt,turmeric,cumin,coriander,biryani masala powders,GGP) add mint+coriander leaves and mix..

Then spread rice on top.Also spread half of the fried onions and mint+coriander leaves.Sprinkle some water which is mixed with color.And some ghee roasted dry fruits and again place some rice and layer ti well.

Finally mint+cilantro leaves,remained fried onions,color mixed water..

By this time,you must complete all the ingredients which you took for biryani making.means empty bowsl.:)

Now heat a big broad pan and turn on heat.When it`s hot place biryani cooker on top of it and close it with lid or plate.On top of it put a big weight.

Put flame in low(I kept on big gas burnor-not small) let it cook fro 12-15 minutes without disturbing..15 minutes is perfect timing for egg biryani.also we cooked rice already 3/4 th

Then turn off and after 15 minutes remove lid.Mix carefully and serve with cucumber pepper raita and any gravy..

EASY TO DO WITH STEP WISE IMAGES

Actually,I clicked so many pictures.But,un expectedly delted from canon.luckily got these 3 and hope It helps you all..

MAHAS NOTES

Remember.Its egg biryan,which don`t need much time to cook,So,also you can cook rice completely and spread on egg mixtures and follow the remaining steps.Then on dum method cook it for only 10 minutes in a very low flame..Then turn off and serve hot.

*the reason behind mentioning for half or 3/4 th cooking rice is,If you cook rice completely after layering it on top of the base mix again you need to cook for few minutes.So,the rice may turns mushy if it is cooked completely..Hope this clarifies your doubts.

Green chick peas mint rice/Green chick peas rice with black pepper flavor/Step by step pictures/Black Pepper health benefits/Mahas own recipes/green chick pea recipes

Mixing rice with different vegetables/leaves and spices is my weakness.Instead of having plain white rice in lunch I like to fold it with veggies.This time I used green chick peas and fresh mint leaves to mix up with rice.But,instead of red chili powder went with black pepper powder which gives a mild hotness to rice.You can replace green chick peas with kabuli chana also.After so many trails,what I came to know is mint leaves plays a best role when you add them in rice.Like you can imagine the pulav n biryani recipes where mint gives a fresh and aromatic feel.In the same way,in this kind of fried rices or one pot meals, more than the cilantro leaves mint gives true flavor and best taste.When you have some fresh mint leaves in hand instead of wasting them,just mix it up with rice along with any other vegetable..Like you can use potato,cauliflower,brinjal,mush room or paneer...This combination matched perfectly and it`s worth to try..This is an absolutely healthy rice for kids even for elders..match some curd and pickle and serve hot..Also,you can pack this rice,in lunch box too...
