My family took 3 heavy serves ..Don't be afraid of the long list given below,its quick.We just gotta mix everything..Easy isn't it?Why wait?Check both of them and enjoy cooking !! Happy Serving!

Lets get ready with the preparations..

• Boil 1 cup water in a pan and add the eggs.Let the eggs cook for 15- 20 mins.

• Finely slice onion,cut the tomatoes and slit the green chilies length-wise.

Method:

1. Take a cooker / vessel in which you want to do the biryani. Put all the ingredients under "For Biryani Masala".
   
2. Now keep the vessel on the stove and keep the flame to medium.Mix well and close the lid.Let it bubble and stir once in between till oil floats on surface.(Takes about 10 mins and we need the rice also  to be soaked for the same time)
   
3. Drain the soaked rice.Once oil floats on top (By now,you must have found the fragrance filling the kitchen- people would come around to get the flavor!!) add the rice in.
   
4. Usually we use rice to water ratio as 1:2.(we will have some liquid in ,so lets reduce the water)Add 1.5 cups water,
   
   check salt,bring it to a boil and pressure cook  for 2 whistles( or simmer for 5 minutes after the first whistle).
5. Remove the egg shell and slice them as you wish.(you can even cut them to half)Take care while you cut as they are tender.
   
6. For roasting egg,heat 2 tsp oil in a pan,Add all the spice powders given under "For roasting "
   
7. Now place the eggs in a pan and roast them for 4 mins.Then remove them to plate.
   
8. Release the pressure head from cooker and mix well.Add the roasted eggs and add salt if required.
   
9. Its time for dum..Mix the eggs with biryani.Sprinkle chopped coriander leaves,close the lid without pressure head,simmer for 3 mins.(Just to make the biryani essence peep into eggs)
   
10. Open the lid,mix the rice moderately.
    
11. Tadaa! Our yummy biryani is ready!Serve hot with onion raita or any bland gravy.
