Beef Biryani Soup – eSoupRecipes

Biryani is a classic Indian dish of rice and meat lavished with spices that is often served on festive occasions. When you taste it, you’ll understand why.

Made Tender with Yogurt

Imagine stew beef; velvety, in a coating of yogurt.

Yogurt is a much-used marinade for Indian cooking. It is a fantastic tenderizer and works great to coat beef, chicken or lamb in whatever herbs and spices you choose to apply. And it’s very forgiving – if you leave your dish draped in yogurt a couple extra hours there is no harm done.

So we first yogurt-ize and spice the beef.

And then the Biryani is…

Made awesome with spices

Infused with flavor – redolent with cayenne, coriander, cumin, ginger, turmeric and ginger

Simmered, Oh, so slow!

Then we take the marinated beef mixture and slow-cook it in a bath of onions and clarified butter until it’s Sunday-roast tender…

Lentils and Rice come to the Party!

You know they want to!

Biryani… Become Soup!

And then – and only then – do we take the final liberty and add beef broth to make Biryani “soup.”
