02:22 i fry the onions first.
02:27 onions are golden brown now.i will remove them from the oil immediately.
02:45 because onions have the quality that it will be dark in color even after removing from the oil.
02:54 i remove the onions from the oil and put them aside.
02:56 now i will fry the potatoes in the same oil.
03:00 the purpose of frying is to get the potatoes golden brown not to cook them completely.
03:05 i put the potatoes in the oil to fry.
03:09 when they turn golden from one side i will turn them and fry them from the other side.
03:19 potatoes are fried now.
03:24 i will remove them in a plate.
03:27 you can use potatoes without frying but these are crispy and taste better.
03:36 now i will add ginger and garlic paste in the oil.
03:55 i will add only 1 part of the onions in the oil and i will add the rest of the onions while layering.
04:06 all the spices will be added in the oil.
04:14 i add 1/4 glass of water in the oil because i added ginger and garlic paste in the oil.
04:20 add 1/2 glass of water in the oil and fry the spices till raw smell goes away.

04:47 mix it well.
04:49 spices are fried now.

05:04 if you want it more sour then you can add 2,3 dry plums.
05:16 add potatoes in the oil.
05:18 mix it well.

06:35 potatoes are almost ready so we don,t need to cook it for more time.
06:42 i add salt in it but i think 1/2 tsp salt is not enough.so i add 1/2 tsp more.
06:50 now we will layer the tomatoes in the potatoes.
06:57 but we don,t need to cook them.
07:01 we just need to soften them.
07:04 add ginger in it.

07:11 now we will cook it for 2 minutes on high flame.
07:21 i have a tip for you,you can see 2 parts of rice are boiled.
07:31 i have taken 1 part of 750 gm rice and 2 parts of rice.
07:36 when i see 60% of rice is boiled i check it and strain it in a strainer.
07:48 and i will boil the rest of the rice till it is 80% done.
07:54 this way the rice will be evenly cooked in the biryani.
08:06 this is a tip for you,follow it and you will get a very good biryani.
