This one-pot egg biryani is so easy to make! You can cook the eggs and the rice together in your instant pot and the two turn out perfectly cooked: bright yellow yolks and separate grains of rice. Not only is this dish easy to make and budget-friendly it’s also absolutely delicious!
Watch How to Make Instant Pot Egg Biryani:
We’re going to bloom whole spices in oil and then sauté onions, ginger, garlic, tomatoes and spices. Add water and rice to the pot, mix well, then put a trivet into the pot and place eggs on top. See? We’re cooking the rice and eggs together! Remove the eggs, peel ’em and then sauté them on the stovetop with spices to give them some color (optional). Mix the eggs back into the rice. Simple, beautiful, tasty. I am all about making one-pot biryanis because they are just so easy to make AND they taste just as good as biryani made the time-consuming way (cooking everything half-way then layering it together, then cooking it again). If you have an electric pressure cooker like the instant pot, then biryani suddenly becomes so much more accessible. It doesn’t have to be a “special occasion dish” because it’s easy enough to make on a weeknight.
Love Biryani?
Biryani is my favorite type of Indian dish because there are so many varieties and so many different ways to make this dish. I have several biryani recipes on my blog. Here are a few to try next: I have to tell you that I like this egg biryani just as much as my other meat-based biryani recipes. It is just as flavorful and delicious, if not more so. You know how Pizza Fridays are a thing? Well, I’m switching things up at our house and we’re now doing Biryani Fridays. We are observing Lent right now, so now I’ve got three biryani options for Fridays: shrimp biryani, vegetable biryani and this egg biryani. I think I need to share a fish biryani recipe too! I can’t wait to hear what y’all think of this egg biryani recipe. I’m so proud of it! I hope you love it a lot! Like this recipe?
