Replace the eggs with paneer cubes or a mix of vegetables like carrots, peas, and cauliflower. Sauté them just like the eggs and potatoes before layering.
Substitute eggs with chicken or mutton pieces. Marinate the meat with the curd and spices for a few hours and cook it in the masala until tender before layering the rice.
Increase the number of green chilies and the amount of red chili powder. You can also add a teaspoon of black pepper to the masala for extra heat.
Eggs are a complete protein source, providing all the essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
The complex carbohydrates from basmati rice offer a steady release of energy, keeping you full and energized for longer periods.
Spices like turmeric, cloves, and cinnamon are packed with antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress and inflammation in the body.

One serving of this Sindhi Egg Biryani (approximately 575g) contains around 650-750 calories. This is an estimate and can vary based on the specific ingredients used, especially the amount of oil and ghee.
Sindhi Egg Biryani can be part of a balanced diet. It's a good source of protein from the eggs and carbohydrates from the rice for energy. However, it is also calorie-dense due to the use of oil and ghee. To make it healthier, you can reduce the amount of oil and serve it with a large portion of vegetable raita or salad.
Yes, you can use brown basmati rice for a healthier, high-fiber version. Brown rice takes longer to cook, so you will need to adjust the par-boiling time accordingly, cooking it until it's about 60-70% done before layering.
This biryani is a complete meal on its own but pairs wonderfully with a cooling side dish like mint raita, cucumber raita, or a simple kachumber salad (chopped onion, tomato, cucumber).
Store leftover biryani in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, sprinkle a little water over the rice and microwave until hot, or gently heat it in a covered pan on the stovetop over low heat.
Curd can split or curdle if it's too cold when added to a hot pan, or if the heat is too high. To prevent this, always use room temperature curd, whisk it until smooth, and add it to the masala on low heat, stirring continuously for a couple of minutes.
