This is the toughest part of making a Biryani. If the rice is cooked exactly as how it should be half of the is over. Now, how to cook the rice for BIRYANI always use Basmati Rice. Now it should be cooked in a Pot or Pan.
First is the regular cooking of the rice in water
Second is further cooking of the rice in a tightly sealed pot or pan
If the rice if just cooked or cooked well in the first instance then while cooking for the second round rice gets done more than what is required . Cook the rice till it is done 3/4th 75% cooked . To find out how the rice is cooked 75% check the rice grain .Remove the rice from Pan drain it in a colander.When the rice becomes warm or cools down, use it for layering in biryani.
