For Cooking Rice:
- Meanwhile refer the ingredients for cooking rice. Heat ghee and fry the whole spices.
- Add water and sufficient salt and bring to a boil.
- Then add drained rice.
- Add Ramba leaf pieces and after boiling on high flame, keep flame to a minimum and cook till the rice absorbs the liquid and is almost cooked. Keep this aside.
For Preparing Beef Masala:
- To prepare beef masala, first add crushed ginger garlic into the hot oil and saute till the raw smell is gone.
- Then add sliced onion and saute till it is wilted. Add the crushed green chilly and saute till the raw smell is gone.
- Add sliced tomato and cook, stirring occasionally till nicely mashed.
- Now add pepper powder, turmeric powder, garam masala powder and salt as required.
- Add the cooked beef along with some chopped coriander leaves. Cover and cook for 5-10 minutes in low flame.
- For making Dum ingredients, heat the ghee and fry the onion till browned. Add the cashews and raisins and switch off. Add some chopped coriander leaves, Mint leaves and garam masala powder. Mix well.
For Dum:
- Now we have to dum the rice and masala, for that here I used a pressure cooker. Spread half of the beef masala into the pressure cooker first.
- Spread half of the cooked biriyani rice as the second layer. Then spread half of the fried dum ingredients.
- Top with the beef masala and add the remaining rice. Sprinkle the fried onions and nuts, coriander leaves, mint leaves. Close the lid tight and cook on dum for 10-15 minutes on low flame.
- Switch off and allow the biriyani to rest for 10 minutes. Fluff up the rice and serve Beef Biriyani Kerala Style hot with raita and achaar.
