- Measure, wash and soak basmati rice. Let it soak for 30 minutes before cooking. Cut Fish fillets into 3/4 inch. In a medium sized bowl, beat yogurt to get a smooth consistency. Then add all ingredients for marination and mix well. Add the fish pieces to this marinade. Mix well so that the marinade coats fish well. Let it marinate for 30 minutes. In the meantime, in a pan, heat ghee. Add sliced onions and fry until they turn golden brown. Remove from pan and drain into a bounty to remove excess ghee. While the onions are caramelizing, wash, chop and keep aside cilantro & mint. Prep the nuts. Heat milk and saffron in a small bowl. Bring it to a boil and remove from heat. Keep aside. Cooking the fish 30 minutes into marination, pan fry fish pieces in the same pan that was used to caramelize onions. Only pan fry the fish pieces. 2 minutes each side is good enough. Keep aside the marination gravy. In a large pot, bring around 5 cups of water to a boil. When the water is hot, add the spices. Get it to a boil and add rice. Gently stir with a spoon occasionally while the rice is cooking. Just when the rice is about 75% cooked, drain the rice in a colander. Gently fluff and keep aside. While the rice is cooking, preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Grease a thick bottom oven safe pan with ghee. Layer half of pan fried fish and sprinkle half of chopped mint, cilantro and nuts. Next layer half of the 75% cooked rice. Sprinkle half of caramelized onions, green chili, saffron milk, almonds and cashew nuts. Layer the remaining pan fried fish. Layer the remaining rice and sprinkle the remaining fried onions, green chili, cilantro, mint, saffron milk, almonds and cashew nuts. Also add the left over marination gravy. Seal the container with an aluminum foil. Bake the biryani for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven. Serve hot.
