How to make Fish Biryani

Wash the rice under water and cook with all the ingredients and 2 cups of Water. The rice should be half cooked
Keep it aside as we will cook it later with the Fish
Cut the fillets into bite sized pieces. Rub the turmeric powder, chilli powder, salt and lemon juice on the fish and leave to marinade for 15 minutes.
Heat oil in a pan. Pour the Semolina in a dish or Kitchen towel and coat the marinated fish pieces on all sides.
Shallow fry the fish till golden brown on all sides but completely cooked, usually 3 – 4 minutes on each side
Drain on a kitchen towel and keep aside.
Heat oil in a big heavy bottomed pan in which you will place the Biryani.
Add the cumin seeds, green chillies and ginger and cook for a few seconds.
Add the onion and sauté till translucent. Now add the tomatoes, turmeric powder, coriander powder, chilli powder and salt and cook till mushy and then add the fresh coriander.
Add 1 cup of hot water and bring to a boil. Lower the flame and place the fish pieces gently in this mixture. Gently layer with the par boiled rice.
Warm the milk and add the saffron in it, leave aside for 10 minutes.
When you have layered the rice on top of the fish, garnish the rice with saffron milk.
