Beef Biryani Recipe

In a large bowl, make spice mix: ground ginger, garlic powder,  turmeric, chili powder, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, and ground star anise.  Crush fried onions and add it with yogurt, mint, cilantro and green chili to the mix.  Season with salt to taste.  Add beef cubes and mix thoroughly. Let stand overnight.

Transfer marinated beef to a stockpot and add enough water to cover the meat. Bring to a boil, then simmer until tender, adding more water as needed.

Meanwhile, in a large sauté pan, heat oil flavored from frying the onions. Add rice and stir fry. Add milk colored by the kasubha to the rice. Season to taste. Transfer to plate and top with beef and its sauce. Serve.
