To begin making the Spicy Egg Biryani, prep all the ingredients and keep ready. Boil the eggs in water for about 10-15 minutes. Peel and keep aside.
For caramelised onions, heat oil in a pan over low heat, add the sliced onions and saute for about 15 to 20 minutes on lowest heat until caramelised and slightly crisp. Ensure this is done on the lowest heat and keep stirring intermittently for even caramelisation. Keep this aside.For roasted cashews, heat ghee in pan, add the broken cashew nuts and stir fry on medium heat until lightly golden brown and crisp. Once done, turn off the heat and keep aside.
Add the ginger, garlic and green chillies into pestle and mortar and make a coarse paste.
Heat ghee in the pressure cooker on medium heat, add the sliced onions and cook them till they soften. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
Add the ginger garlic paste and add whole spices. Saute until you can smell the delicious aromas.
Add the chopped tomatoes, the turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder and garam masala powder, and mix well.
