    Double Beans Biryani

    Spicy flavorful Double Beans biryani made in pressure cooker, a quick meal that’s both healthy & delicious! Loaded with fresh double beans, this coconut-based pulao is real treat. As the winter produce is soon vanishing from the market, I had to get some fresh double beans this week. I wanted to make some biryani and then save some for making Double Beans Kurma. Fresh double beans are a like dream and when it is used in a recipe, it makes the whole dish so delicious.

    Pressure Cooker Double Beans Biryani

    A mildly spiced, really flavorful coconut-based rice cooked with fresh double beans, that’s double beans biryani for you. You may choose to call this double beans pulao or name it as double beans masala rice but since there are biryani spices used, I prefer to call this biriyani. I usually make this in my small pressure cooker and it comes together so quickly, especially if there are some fresh beans. If you don’t have access to fresh double beans, make sure to soak some dry double beans overnight.

    Tips to Make Double Beans Biriyani in Pressure Cooker

    Making biriyani in pressure cooker is easy and it saves a lot of time too. Here are some tips and notes that I follow to get grainy yet moist biriyani.

    • Soaking the basmati rice is important to get the rice to cook quickly. I usually soak the rice for 20 mins and for this double beans biryani, I soaked basmati rice in lukewarm water. The rice doesn’t break and at the same time, works better when cooked in cooker.
    • Water to rice ratio for a closed pan cook is 2:1 and I follow the same for all my rice recipes, irrespective of whether it is cooked in a pan closed with a lid or in a pressure cooker.
    • The rice takes 10mins on low flame to cook to the right consistency. I put the cooker weight on, but don’t wait for the whistles. Just remove from heat in 10mins with/without whistles.
    • Don’t disturb the rice for 5-7 mins and let it rest. Fluff it up gently and it turns out perfect.
