Khuska biryani

Khuska is a fragrant and flavorful South Indian rice dish made by cooking basmati rice with spices like cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, and bay leaves. It’s a popular dish that can be enjoyed on its own or with accompaniments like yogurt or curry.

CAN I SKIP BIRYANI MASALA

Yes, but in that case add nutmeg, star anise, and increase masala while tempering. 

RICE FOR khuska pulao

I have used basmati rice. You can use any variety of rice according to your choice. Adjust water accordingly

SHOULD I SOAK RICE?

Since I used less water, I would recommend soaking. If you are skipping soaking add 1+1/2 cup of water

CAN I SKIP GHEE AND MAKE kuska PULAO?

Ghee gives amazing flavor to the plain biryani so I prefer using ghee. skip ghee according to your preference.

CAN I SKIP CURD?

Curd gives the best flavor but if you are skipping add extra tomatoes and lemon juice. in that case, the flavor might vary.

SIDE DISH FOR khuska BIRYANI

Biryani goes well with  gutti vankaya kura, kathirikai chops, plain kurma,  mirchi salan,and raita

CAN I COOK khuska biryani IN THE instant pot?

Cook for 5 minutes and do natural pressure release
