- In a non-stick pan, put little oil and add cloves, cinnamon, cumin seeds, cardamoms, mace, green chilli, and a few tomatoes. After tossing this mixture for few seconds, add the remaining ginger garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chilli powder and salt to make it a shahi gravy.
- Put the oats balls in the Shahi gravy and add a little water in it. Let the oats balls simmer in this gravy for 1-2 minutesto take the flavour from the gravy.
- Next, add around 100 ml. of water into the gravy before putting the instant oats in it. Spread the oats evenly over the gravy mixture and put half of the fried brown onions over it before closing the lid and letting it cook for around 4-5 minutes more.
- Now that the Shahi Oats Biriyani is cooked, it is time to garnish it with the saffron milk, remaining fried onions to serve.
