Method:
Soak Biryani rice and risotto rice for about 20 mins. Wash and peel the baby potatoes and keep it aside.
Heat a wok. Add oil. Now add jeera, cloves and green cardamom. Roast on medium flame till you get the aroma. Add ginger garlic paste and saute for a few seconds. Add the finely chopped onions and roast till they turn slightly brown.Once done add the peeled baby potatoes and roast till they are half done.
Grind coconut , red chilli, ¾ cup coriander, 10 cashews to a fine thick paste.Add this paste to the half cooked potatoes and mix well. Let the mixture cook on medium flame for about 5 -7 mins. Add biryani masala and yogurt .Mix all the ingredients well so that the baby potatoes are very well coated.Once done add the soaked biryani rice and risotto rice. Add 2.5 to 3 cups of water ,close the lid and let it cook on low flame .For me it took about 35 mins for the rice to cook.
Heat a tsp of oil in another pan. Add Jeera and roast cashews till they turn golden brown. Garnish Biryani with this Tadka and serve with any Raita of your choice.
