  • The amount of water depends on the quality of the rice,for seraga sambha rice I use 23/4 cups for 11/2 cups of water if its basmathi use 21/3cups.
  • The amount of red chilly powder is depends on personal preference,mine is extra hot chilly powder so used 1/2 tsp.
  • Use well ripe tomatoes to get a nice tangy taste.
  • Addition ghee gives a nice flavor and extra richness to the biriyani and addition of cashew is purely optional.
