Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups basmati rice
  • 4 boiled eggs
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chopped mint leaves
  • 4 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 4 cups water

Instructions

  1. Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak it for 30 minutes.

  7. While the rice is cooking, peel the boiled eggs and make slits on them for better flavor absorption.
  8. Once the rice is cooked, gently fluff it with a fork and place the boiled eggs on top. Sprinkle garam masala over the dish.
  9. Cover the pot again and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.
