Hello Ecency & Hive Friends! 👋
There is nothing quite like a steaming plate of homemade Chicken Biryani. Today, I'm sharing my favorite recipe for making this rich, flavorful, and aromatic dish right in your own kitchen!
Ingredients:
1 kg Chicken
1 kg Basmati Rice (soaked for 30 mins)
3 Large Onions (thinly sliced)
3 Tomatoes (chopped)
1 cup Yogurt
2 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
Biryani Masala, Salt, Red Chili Powder, Cumin, Whole Spices
Yellow Food Color & Fresh Mint/Coriander
Steps to Cook:
Prepare the Rice: Boil rice with whole spices and salt until it is 80% cooked, then drain the water.
Make the Chicken Gravy: Fry onions until deep golden brown. Add chicken, ginger-garlic paste, tomatoes, yogurt, and spices. Cook until the oil separates and the chicken is tender.
Layering (Dum): In a large pot, create layers of chicken gravy and boiled rice. Top with fresh mint, coriander, fried onions, and a splash of food color.
Dum Cooking: Cover tightly and steam on low heat for 12–15 minutes until fragrant. Mix gently before serving!
