- 1/2 cup Mint Leaves
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 4-6 Garlic Cloves
For the Biryani
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 cup Peas fresh or frozen, green
- 1 cup Basmati Rice
- 1 medium Onion finely chopped
- 1 tsp Garam Masala
- 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil or ghee
- 2 cup Water or as needed for rice
- 1 tbsp Coriander chopped, for garnish
- 1 tbsp Mint chopped, for garnish, fresh
Instructions
Prepare the Mango-Spice Paste
- Grind together the raw mango, green chilies, coriander leaves, mint leaves, lemon juice, and garlic cloves into a smooth paste using a blender or food processor.
Cook the Rice
- Soak the basmati rice in water for at least 30 minutes.
Sauté Vegetables and Spices
- Heat the oil in a large pot or pressure cooker over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until lightly golden brown. Add the green peas and sauté for another 2-3 minutes.
Add the Paste and Spices
- Stir in the mango-spice paste and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the oil begins to separate from the paste. Add the garam masala and salt, and mix well.
Combine and Cook
- Add the soaked basmati rice and water to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed. Alternatively, pressure cook for 2 whistles.
Garnish and Serve
- Fluff the rice gently with a fork. Garnish with fresh coriander and mint leaves. Serve hot and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Chatpata Mango Biryani
- For a richer flavor, use ghee instead of vegetable oil.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies according to your spice preference. Start with fewer and add more if needed.
- If using frozen peas, add them towards the end of the cooking process to prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Allow the biryani to rest for 10-15 minutes after cooking to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
