Today I want to share my own fish biryani recipe, i experimented with it and the outcome was very good.... Here comes the briyani

All u need is

11. Oil for frying
12. Ghee 1 table spoon
13. Whole Garam Masala 1/2 table spoon
14. Garam Masala powder 1/2 tea spoon

Method:

2.Take cleaned fish and marinate with yogurt, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, powered garam masala, little salt. Heat tsp of oil and fry half of the chillies, mint and coriander leaves for 2 mins on medium flame, make a paste of it and add to the above marinated fish with pepper powder.

4.In thick bottom vessel put some oil (about 1 tea spoon) and pour the marinated mixture and then layer it with onion mixture and pour the lime juice and then layer it with half boiled rice. On the top put some little preheated oil (used for frying onion) and ghee. Add saffron milk for flavor on the top.
