How To Make Palak Biryani in One Pot 


sambar recipe- 5-min sambar
  1. Chop veggies and marinate them with curd, salt, turmeric, and garam masala. Keep aside.
  2. Chop one onion.
  3. Chop one tomato
  4. Wash palak leaves thoroughly. Add ginger and garlic along with chopped palak leaves to a mixer grinder and grind everything together.
  5. You will get palak puree. Do not add water.
  6. Take a 2 or 3-liter pressure cooker.
  7. Add oil, bay leaf, cinnamon stick, both cardamom pieces, clove..
  8. Add chopped tomato in the center. Then spread a layer of chopped onion around it.
  9. Next add a layer of marinated veggies. Keep half of this for the second layer.
  10. Spread rice evenly. 
  11. Add the remaining marinated veggies.
  12. Now spread palak puree.
  13. Add salt, garam masala, coriander leaves.
  14. Add just 1/4 cup of water since palak puree is already water. I got one and a half cup of palak puree so used 1/2 cup of water, but felt my rice got little sticky. So the idea is to use minimal amount of water.
  15. Cover with a lid. Do not mix. 
  16. Turn on the flame to medium and allow for 3-4 whistles.
  17. Allow the pressure to settle down.
  18. Open the lid,and mix everything.
  19. Close the lid once again until you are ready to serve a delicious palak biryani ready in one pot.
  20. Do write to me how you find this spinach biryani loaded with fiber, minerals, and iron. Treat your loved ones this weekend with a special menu. Do not be surprised if they ask for more.
  21. Do try out my instant sambar recipe. You will instantly become a fan of this 5-min sambar.
