Chef Kunal Kapur, a well-known figure in Indian cuisine and a judge on MasterChef India, presents a delightful recipe for kathal biryani, a vegetarian dish that serves six. The main ingredient, kathal (raw jackfruit), is marinated with spices such as salt, chili powder, and turmeric, then shallow-fried to achieve a golden color. The biryani is prepared by layering the marinated kathal with partially cooked basmati rice, infused with aromatic spices and flavored waters like kewra and rose. The dish is sealed and cooked using the dum method for 12 to 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. This recipe not only showcases the versatility of kathal but also provides a hearty meal perfect for summer gatherings. Chef Kapur's approach highlights the importance of fresh ingredients and traditional cooking techniques.
