Egg Biryani

Sharing with you a simple, quick and tasty recipe, 'Egg Biryani', a delight for egg lovers. Being an egg lover I love to try various egg recipes. Egg is a brilliant source of protein and including eggs in your meal is a good idea. Eating omelettes, poached eggs or boiled eggs everyday can be boring! So, try this recipe, a whole meal, easy to cook and tastes so good!

Ingredients for 2 people:

1. Eggs - 4
2. Rice - 2 cups
3. Onion - 1 medium size
4. Ginger-garlic paste - 1 tablespoon
5. Green chilies - 2
6. Bay leaf - 2
7. Cardamom - 3
8. Cinnamon stick - half inch long cinnamon stick
9. Cloves - 2
10. Rajwadi garam masala - 1 tablespoon
11. Red chili powder - 1 teaspoon
12. Turmeric powder - 1 teaspoon
13. Biryani masala - 1 teaspoon
14. Refined oil - 4 tablespoons
15. Salt to taste

Okay, let's get started!

• Boil eggs
• Slice the onion and chop the green chilies
• Heat oil in a cookware and fry boiled eggs, sprinkle little bit of salt, turmeric and red chili powder on the eggs while frying (this would add color to the eggs and the oil)
• Take the eggs out of the cookware and set aside, in the remaining oil, add bay leaves, cardamom, cloves and cinnamon stick and let it splutter
• Now add sliced onions and chopped green chilies, saute for two minutes
• Add ginger-garlic paste and saute for two more minutes
• At this stage add the above mentioned spices one by one except for biryani masala
• After adding all the spices saute for a minute and add the fried eggs to it
• Stir the eggs well so that the masala gets mixed properly. meanwhile wash the rice 
• Add the rice into the cookware with 4 cups of water, the rice and water ratio should me 1:2
• Now add biryani masala and cover the cookware with a lid
• Cook it on low flame until the water gets evaporated and the rice is cooked

Tasty egg biryani is ready! Serve it hot!

I prefer to use 'Rajwadi' garam masala for this recipe as it adds a nice flavor and enhances the taste of egg biryani but if you want to use simple garam masala that's perfectly fine!

Last but not the least, be careful while frying the eggs because some times eggs might burst, that's why I prefer to fry the boiled eggs on low flame.

Few people prefer to have slits in the boiled eggs before frying it, if you follow this practice, stick to that. Frying eggs on low flame works perfectly fine for me so I follow this practice.

Good luck and enjoy the recipe!
