Maggi Biryani


Hello Fellas............ I hope this post finds you in your best state. These days I'm loving to do some experimental cooking in my kitchen and as you all know the outcome of any experiment can be a hit or a miss. But, the zeal of knowing the end result always keeps me motivated to try something new each day.

I'm very fond of fusion dishes and I always find myself experimental with this type of cuisine. Fusion Cuisine doesn't fall under any particular cuisine style and has played a part in the innovations of many contemporary restaurant cuisines since the 1970's. 



It's really very innovative and at the same time challenging to fuse elements of different culinary traditions into one style of cooking. I usually try to experiment with some traditional dishes and give them a new look and feel. I have shared many Fusion Dishes in my blog, if you're someone who loves to try this type of cuisine then I would highly encourage you check them out (click here).



This time I have tried to fuse two of the most lovable dishes of every Indian citizen and i.e. Maggi and Biryani. We all love them, isn't it? then how about combining both of them and trust me the end result is lip-smackingly good. If you're a lover of both of these dishes then you have to try this out.

So, without any further ado, let's begin with the recipe:





Ingredients:

1. Maggi: 3 packets
2. Veggies: of your choice
3. Boiled Soya Nuggets: 7-8 pieces
4. Dry Red Chillies: 2
5. Bay Leaf: 1
6. Cumin Seeds: 1 tsp
7. Curd: 2 tbsp
8. Onion (sliced): 1 (small size)
9. Ginger-Garlic Paste: 1 tbsp
10. Kasuri Methi: 1 tbsp
11. Red Chilli Powder: 1 tsp
12. Cumin Powder: 1 tsp
13. Coriander Powder: 1 tsp
14. Turmeric Powder: 1 tsp
15. Biryani Masala: 1 tbsp
16. Maggi Masala: 2 packets
17. Tomato Ketchup: 1 tbsp
18. Kewra Water: 1 tsp
19. Salt: to taste
20. Oil: for cooking
21. Coriander Leaves + Green Chillies: for garnishing



Method:

1. Heat oil in a pan and add the sliced onion. Fry them until they turn golden brown in color.

2. Once they get the color and become crisp take them out in a bowl.

3. In the same pan add cumin seeds, dry red chilies, and bay leaf. Fry them for a minute on low flame.

4. Once done add the ginger-garlic paste and cook it until the raw flavor is gone.

5. Now add in the finely chopped veggies and boiled soya nuggets. Cook them on a medium flame for a minute.

6. Next goes in the powdered spices like salt, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and kasuri methi. Mix everything well.



7. Add curd. Keep the flame on low and stir continuously otherwise the curd will curdle.

8. Once done add water (around 4 cups). Add more water is required. 

9. Next goes in the biryani masala, Maggi masala, and tomato ketchup. Mix well. 

10. Break the Maggi and add them to the mixture. Mix everything well. 
Cover the lid and cook for 5 minutes.
