Now, coming to the details of the recipe, the procedure surely makes the use of fried onion paste. Earlier, I have posted, about how to make crispy fried onions or birista at home and how to store it. As the birista is already handy to me, so this reduces half of the work of mine.Even though it requires few preparations and it involves a few extra steps. But, the outcome of the dish is exuberant. However, if you do not have it handy, then you can fry 1 cup of finely sliced onions. This will yield approx ⅓ cup of birista onions. At the same time, i would highly recommend you to make birista in bulk and store it. Storing the birista will make your job so much easier. And the biryanis, pulao, or any restaurant style gravy will be quick to cook at home.
