Chef's Notes


I used around 1 ¼ cup of water to pressure cook 1 cup rice. Use an adequate amount of water or else your biryani might get burn and stick to the bottom.
I cooked the egg biryani in the pressure cooker for 3 whistles. It depends on the quality of basmati rice too. A few varieties of basmati rice cooks faster. So, I will recommend checking after 2 whistles and if required then close the lid and cook for 1 more whistle. Also, before closing the lid check the water level at the bottom. Add ½ cup water if required.
Addition of the right amount of salt is important. Taste the gravy and then add salt. It should be a little salty (not too much).
If you are not adding saffron to the recipe then add ¼ cup of plain milk to the recipe. The adequate amount of moisture is important to get a perfect egg biryani in the pressure cooker.
