- 1 Onion chopped
- 5 French Beans trimmed and chopped
- 1/8 cup Peas fresh or frozen, green
- 1/8 cup Cabbage chopped
- 1 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
- 1/2 cup Yogurt
For the Spice Blend
- 2 Cardamom green
- 1 Cardamom black
- 4 Cloves
- 1/2 inch Cinnamon Stick
- 1 Bay Leaf
- 1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1 tbsp Chili Powder red
- 1 tbsp Coriander Powder
- 1 tsp Garam Masala or biryani powder
- 1/2 tsp Kewra Water
- Pinch Saffron strands, soaked in 1 tbsp warm milk

For the Jacket Potatoes
- 2 Potato russet, large
- 1/2 cup Yogurt greek
- 2 tbsp Butter melted
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder red
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1/2 tsp Chicken Masala
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Wash and scrub the russet potatoes. Dry them thoroughly.
- Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin layer of potato along the skin to create a sturdy shell.
- In a bowl, combine the scooped potato flesh with Greek yogurt, melted butter, red chili powder, turmeric powder, chicken masala, and salt. Mix well to coat the potato evenly.
- Set the marinated potato mixture aside for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step also helps tenderize the potatoes.
- In a saucepan, bring 1 cup of salted water to a boil. Add the rice, two green cardamoms, one black cardamom, two cloves, and a half-inch cinnamon stick. Boil until the rice is about 75% cooked—tender but still with a slight bite. Drain the rice and rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- In a large pan or pot, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the remaining green cardamoms, cloves, black cardamom, cinnamon stick, bay leaf, and cumin seeds. Roast the spices for a minute or two until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Add the chopped onions to the pan and sauté until translucent. Then, add the chopped carrots, cabbage, French beans, and green peas. Season with salt, cover, and cook for 2 minutes to soften the vegetables slightly.
- Add the ginger-garlic paste and stir well. Cook for another 2 minutes until the raw aroma disappears. Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Cook for a minute more, stirring constantly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, kewra water, and saffron-infused milk. Add the garam masala and mix well. Pour this mixture over the sautéed vegetables and simmer for 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Gently fold the par-cooked rice into the vegetable mixture, ensuring not to break the rice grains. Spoon the biryani filling into the prepared potato jackets, mounding it slightly.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the filled potatoes with the remaining melted butter. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy and the filling is heated through. To ensure the potatoes are cooked, pierce them with a fork or knife; it should slide in easily.
