Beef biryani. Beef Biryani is comprised of three cooking steps: the beef masala, the rice, and the final topping and assembling of biryani. Making the Beef Masala Since we are using beef in this recipe, I like to make the beef masala in the pressure cooker as it's just faster and easier. This biryani is all about the almonds, the golden raisins, the herbs, the fragrant basmati rice, the slow cooked tender juicy beef, and all the warm spices.
Beef biryani is a popular Indian and Pakistani dish that is fairly easy to make.
Bone-in chicken pieces like drumstick or leg-thigh pieces make excellent biryanis.
I seldom make mutton or goat biryani as I am not a fan of mutton.
