Method

• Step 1: The rice needs to be cooked, but not fully. Drain it and transfer the rice onto a plate.
• Step 2: In a wok, heat up ghee and add green chillies, cloves, cardamoms, bay leaf, cinnamon, and chopped nuts. Let it be cooked for around 3 minutes, and add ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, salt, and continue cooking for 2 more minutes on low heat.
• Step 3: When the aroma of the spices is released and gone, add the fish fillets. Cook until one side becomes brown and then turn the fillets upside down. Cook until both sides of the fish fillets become cooked nicely and slightly brown.
• Step 4: Now add the half-cooked rice along with grated coconut. Mix using a ladle, and add the garam masala powder and mix well. Sprinkle a few drops of water, and cook on low flames fully covered for ten minutes more. Fish Biryani is ready. Ideal to serve with salad and pickle.
