Add Bay leaves, Cinnamon, Cloves, Cardamom pods. Add finely chopped onions and saute everything together.
While the onions are browning let us make the masala paste for the briyani.
To the mixer add ginger, garlic, green and red chilli and grated coconut. Add little water and grind until it comes to a smooth paste.
Once the onion turns to brown add the blended masala paste and cook till the raw smell goes off.
Once cooked add the tomatoes. To that add Turmeric powder, Chili powder, Coriander powder, Coriander leaves and Mint leaves.
At this stage add the Salt according to the taste.
Add small bunch of coriander and mint leaves. Cook till the tomatoes are mushy.
Once the masala is ready add the fish pieces to it. Handle the fish pieces carefully since they can easily break. Gently mix them.
Add the soaked basmati rice to it (Make sure that the basmati rice is soaked for about 30 minutes). While adding let the flame be on medium or mow preferably.
