Just because you're on a different continent, it doesn't mean you can't get the authentic taste of Hyderabadi Biryani in your home. This recipe will serve two people.
The quickest and easiest way to do this is to use a pressure cooker. For those who don't own one - here's a good reason to get one.

*5 Tbs ghee (butter melted with the scum skimmed off)
*3 Tbs [[Make Ginger Garlic Paste|paste]] made up of equal parts ginger garlic and onion
*2 Tbs gram Marsala (mixed spices powder)
*3 Tbs paste equal parts fresh green chili and fresh coriander leaves
*2 cups of basmati rice
*3 cups of vegetables (carrots, potato's, green beans diced about an inch thick)
*Oil
*Water
*Salt to test

 

Bearing in mind that you're going to fry the ginger paste, coat the bottom of the pressure cooker with enough ghee and oil. Bring this to a sizzle and stir fry the ginger paste and the Gram Marsala. It should turn a lovely rose-red color.
#  When fragrant, add the vegetables, stirring so that they absorb the flavors evenly, add the rice and stir fry until the grains become evenly coated too.
#  Add four and a third cups water. Stir in the chili paste and add salt to taste.
#  Put the lid on the pressure cooker and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes (three whistles). Check your manufacturer's instructions (compare it to a pilaf).
