Method

1Heat 2 tbsp oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.
2Add 1 tsp cumin seeds, 1 crushed green cardamom pod, and 1 small cinnamon stick. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3Add 2 finely sliced green chilies and 1 tbsp grated ginger. Stir well and cook for 1 minute.
4Add 4 hard-boiled eggs, halved and gently crushed with a fork. Mix well to coat with the spice mixture.
5Add 1 tsp garam masala, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, and 1/2 tsp red chili powder. Stir to combine.
6In a separate bowl, mix 200 g basmati rice (washed and soaked for 20 minutes) with 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tbsp ghee. Drain the rice.
7Add the drained rice to the pot with the eggs. Gently fold to combine without breaking the eggs.
8Pour in 400 ml hot water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and cook for 15 minutes on low flame.
9Turn off heat. Let the biryani rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff gently with a fork before serving.
