Take the washed fishes on a plate and drain the excess water if any.
Add turmeric powder, salt, chilli powder (optional) and few drops of mustard oil. mix well and keep aside for 5 mins.

Method for Fish fry :

Take a pan or tawa and heat it in low medium flame (it is important to know how much heat is needed to fry the fish). Add oil and heat until the smoke come out.
Add the fish pieces one by one (be little careful as oil may split) and turn the heat to low.
Slowly cook the fish (without covering the lid) and turn upside down after few minutes. Repeat the same process one more time and the fish fry will be ready in 10 to 15 mins.

Boil water . Add 1 bay leaf , 1 big cardamom, 1 small piece of cinnamon stick. Add the soaked rice and cook it until 50% done . drain water and keep aside . It will take about 5 to 7 mins.

Put the fried fishes gently
Add remaining rice and spread nicely. Add the left over fried brown onions, mint leaves, biryani masala and sprinkle the kewda water.
Add half cup of water by sprinkling every where.
Tightly cover the handi with its lid and you can seal it with wheat dough .But if you don’t wish for any complicated process, then just cover the lid and put a heavy metal item on top of the lid so that the steam will be inside the pot while cooking the biryani.

Cook for around 10 – 15 mins in low heat and you can smell the aroma when it is done .

Serve hot with raita and lachha onion.

Grind the dal mix until the paste is smooth.
Mix the mixture in a spoon (better by hand) for five to ten minutes
Add the Rawa rice with the above batter and mix properly and keep aside for 10 to 12 hours for fomentation.

Tips :

Add cold water while making the dal paste. This will help to make a good fomentation for idli Or Dosa batter.
If it is winter or weather is cold then the fomentation would be delayed up to 24 hours or more.
