Chef's Notes
Do not rush the boiling of the rice. If you overcook it by even a minute during the par-boiling stage, your biryani will turn into a tragic porridge. Respect the grain, and the grain will reward you with perfection.
Pro Tip
Soak your basmati rice for exactly 20 minutes in cold water before cooking; this allows the starch to relax so the grains can elongate properly without breaking.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to seal the pot properly with foil will let all the precious steam escape, leaving you with dry, crunchy rice that tastes like disappointment.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the chef why there are potatoes in the Biryani, and he said it's to keep the rice from feeling lonely
The Culinary Science
Par-boiling rice in heavily salted water allows the sodium ions to penetrate the starch matrix rapidly, seasoning the interior of the grain rather than just coating the outside.
