Birista

Ingredients:

ONION | प्याज़ 500 GRAMS (SLICED)

Method:

To make birista you need to cut the onions in a specific way, so firstly peel the onion & cut them in half & now you need to cut the onions length wise, make sure that the slices are neither too thin nor too thick & the slices are evenly cut.
After all of the onions have been chopped, the layers must be separated. When it's time to fry the onions, heat the oil in a deep pan to a moderate temperature—if you have a thermometer, it should read 135 C.

The quantity of the oil should not be too much, the oil should only come up till the surface of the onions.
After the oil is heated, add the onions and fry them over high heat, stirring constantly. As the onions release moisture, the temperature of the oil will tend to drop which is why you’ll need to fry them on high flame.
If the oil is extremely hot in the beginning the onions will fry quickly from the outside but won’t lose their internal moisture & they will turn out to be limp & not crispy.

After frying them for 15-20 minutes & once they get slightly light golden brown, you’ll need to be very attentive, remove the onions from the hot oil using a spider Right now, you can take a ladle and remove the onions from the oil, and after that, place them on the spider. To ensure they cool down quickly, transfer the fried onions to a tray or plate lined with tissue and spread them out using two forks. Then, use a tissue paper to get rid of any excess oil, reserve the oil to use in the marinade & in the further cooking process.

After letting the birista cool for five to six minutes, it will be perfectly crispy and colored. 
We will use 80% of the birista for the marinade & the remaining 20% will be used while layering the biryani & as garnish.
Remember to set aside a few tablespoons of the oil used to fry the barista because you'll need it for the subsequent cooking steps.
