one main ingrediant is potato cut in small cubes, people add other vege like peas and carrots too,but actually only potatoes are used and this is a dish rice with potatoes. or may be every region has his own variations.
Method
1- heat oil in apan and add sliced onions,add cumin seeds and if u are using whole garam masala then add it also.
2-stirr onions frequently,when light brown add ginger garlic paste to it,cook for few min.
3-Add salt,red chilli powder,heldi,corriander powder and garam masala powder,i prefer to use whole garam masala powder not powder one. Cook for few min, add little water to avoid the masala to sticking.
4- add chopped or cubed tomatoes and gren chillies sliced or u can add whole too. cook it well until the tomatoes tender .( khoob acchi tarah sai bhonana hai).u can add few spoons of yogurt too.add cubed potatoes and cook for few more min.
5 -add water like 4 cups as i usually add double amount of water that is 2cup rice and 4 cup water or 3 1/2 cup water, u can add as u does. when it start boiling add rice to it. cook on medium flame until all water evaporates, slow the flame to its lowest point and put the rice on dum .after 15 min the tahiri will be ready.
serve it with raita and chutny.
I heard about tahiri with mutton too,and i tried it but i pesonaly dont like it ,it looks like rice witb allo ghosht.i think its good in its actuall way.
