Soak rice for at least 20 minutes and cook till al dente. Do not make the rice mushy but it must be cooked fully. Mix together all the marination ingredients except fish. Taste the marinade to check the spice and salt. Marinate the fish and set aside till the rice gets cooked. Fry the fish in little oil on both the sides till the fish gets cooked and the masala turns golden. Set this aside along with any stock or oil. Add more oil to the pan and fry onions till lightly golden, set aside a few for garnish. to the same pan, add spices and fry them. add ginger garlic paste and fry until the raw smell goes off. Add biryani or garam masala and coriander powder, red chili powder and fry quickly. Pour yogurt and stir. Cook till the mixture thickens. Set this aside. Add half of the rice to the biryani pot or handi, layer the gravy, add some chopped mint and coriander leaves. layer the fried fish along with oily stock if any. Layer the rice again and then sprinkle coriander leaves, mint leaves and fried onions. pour the saffron milk. Sprinkle kewra water. Seal it with a foil and put it on a hot tawa. Cook on high flame for 2 minutes and very low flame for 10 minutes. Allow fish biryani to rest for about 15 minutes before serving. how to make onion raita for biryani Slice thinly 1 large onion, chop chilies and coriander leaves. You can deseed the chilies. Whisk one cup curd/ yogurt/dahi with salt, add the chopped ingredients and mix. You can add more or less curd as desired. Cumin powder can also be used. It aids in digestion.   Notes ½ tsp shahi jeera, 1 bay leaf, 3 green cardamoms, 4 cloves,1 cinnamon stick can be added to cooking rice. If using frozen fish, after marination do not leave it for longer than 10 to 15 minutes. I have found that the ginger garlic makes the fish break quickly while getting cooked. Engr sulthan
