Ingredients
- 500 grams of chicken, cut into pieces
- 2 cups of basmati rice
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 4 tomatoes, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons of ginger-garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon of red chili powder
- 1 tablespoon of turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon of garam masala
- 1 tablespoon of biryani masala
- 1 cup of yogurt
- 1/2 cup of cooking oil
- Fresh coriander leaves, for garnishing
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnishing
- Salt to taste
Instructions
Marinating the Chicken
- Chicken pieces, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, biryani masala, yogurt, and salt should all be combined in a big bowl.
- Blend thoroughly, making sure that the marinade covers each piece of chicken equally.
- For the chicken to marinade and the flavors to meld, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
Preparing the Rice
- Use water to wash basmati rice.
- Bring water to a rolling boil in a large pot and season with salt to your taste.
- When the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice and let it cook until it is 70% done.
- Using a colander, drain the rice, then set it aside.
Assembling the Biryani
- The onions are thinly sliced and added to the hot oil in a large pan.
- To give the biryani a deep flavor, sauté the onions until they are golden brown.
- Cook the chopped tomatoes in the pan until they are mushy and tender.
- The chicken should now be added to the pan and cooked until it is soft and cooked through.
- Take the cooked chicken out of the pan and set it aside.
- Layer the rice that has been parboiled in half in the same pan.
- After then, spread the cooked chicken over the rice.
- Finally, evenly distribute the remaining rice over the chicken.
Cooking the Biryani
- To create a sealed atmosphere for the flavors to merge together, close the pan's cover tightly.
- Allow the rice to fully cook and take on the flavors of the chicken and spices by cooking the biryani on low heat for 20 to 25 minutes.
- Turn off the heat after 25 minutes and give the biryani 10 more minutes to rest. The intensification of the flavors depends on this stage.
Garnishing and Serving
- Remove the lid when the rice has finished resting, and use a fork to gently fluff it.
- Fresh mint and coriander leaves can be used to garnish the biryani.
- For a complete meal, serve the biryani hot with raita (yogurt sauce) and a side salad.
Tips for a Perfect Biryani
- The best results come from basmati rice of the highest caliber.
- To ensure that the flavors are well integrated, marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours.
- To capture the steam and bring out the flavors, use a pan with a thick bottom and a tight-fitting lid.
- After cooking, let the biryani cool to allow the flavors to mingle.
- The amount of spice is dependent on taste and choice.
